Lola Black

Crafted from carefully selected leathers, The Workshop shoes are a blend of elegance and expertise passed down through generations of dedicated artisans. These natural materials require regular care to ensure their beauty and comfort for years to come.

Shoe Care Essentials

• Rotate your shoes every two days of consecutive wear to allow the leather fibers to rest.
• Store shoes in the felt bags provided, in a dry place away from direct heat sources.
• Use shoe trees for men’s dress shoes to maintain shape.
• Avoid contact with water, solvents, oils, or abrasives.
• Use a shoehorn to prevent damage to the heel structure.
• Replace toplifts periodically to maintain grip and stability.

By following these steps, you’ll extend the lifespan of your shoes. For questions or personal guidance, feel free to contact us or visit your nearest The Workshop store.

Smooth or Grained Leathers

Wipe surface stains with a soft damp cloth. Once dry, apply a high-quality colorless cream with a soft cloth in circular strokes.

Patent Leathers

Clean with a soft, light-colored damp cloth and dry with a clean one. Avoid contact with other leathers or strongly pigmented items to prevent color migration.

Metallic Leathers

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean gently.

Exotic Leathers

Clean with a soft dry cloth and polish in the direction of the scales using colorless cream. Sensitive to humidity — if wet, pat dry gently with an absorbent cloth.

Goat Suede, Calf Suede & Nubuck

Use a soft shoe brush to maintain texture. Allow to dry thoroughly if wet. For light stains, use a rubber suede brush.

Pony-Styled Calf Leathers

Clean with a lightly damp cloth in the direction of the hair. Avoid abrasion and repeated friction which may harm the hair texture.

Fabric

Do not soak or machine wash. Gently clean and allow to air dry. Note: lighter fabrics are more prone to stains despite their water-repellent finish.

Vegan Leather

Clean vegan leather with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately with a clean towel. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Do not apply leather polish or oil-based conditioners. Use mild soap if needed and test first on a small area.
