Care Is Simple, and It Matters
A leather Nagra rewards a small amount of attention. Five minutes a month is enough.
Everyday
- Wipe with a dry, soft cloth after wearing
- Store away from direct sunlight
- Keep paper or a shoe tree inside to hold the shape
- Rotate between pairs — leather needs a day to breathe between wears
Monthly
- Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a neutral cream
- Work it in with a soft cloth in circular motions
- Let it absorb for ten minutes, then buff gently
If They Get Wet
- Blot with a dry cloth immediately
- Stuff with newspaper to hold the shape
- Dry at room temperature, away from heaters and direct sun
- Condition once fully dry
Never dry leather with heat. A heater or hair dryer will stiffen and crack it permanently.
What to Avoid
- Washing machines
- Direct heat
- Storing in plastic bags — leather needs air
- Harsh chemical cleaners
Resoling
Because our soles are stitched rather than glued, any competent cobbler can resole them. A well-cared-for ZicoFit pair can be resoled more than once — which is the whole point of buying leather in the first place.
