During the Second World War, second-generation shoemaker Rolf Evensen turned old suitcases into shoes that lasted. Four generations on, we still build every pair to go the distance. A few minutes of care now and then is all it takes to keep them going.
Five material families, five simple routines. Check the product page if you’re unsure which one your pair is made of.
Thick, soft Italian leather that ages well when it’s looked after.
Soft and breathable, with a texture that rewards a little extra attention.
Engineered in Spain for everyday wear, and water-resistant by nature.
Made from recycled PET and organic materials, built for comfort and breathability.
A high-shine finish, and uppers made for the wettest days of the year.
Leather is a natural material and needs moisture to stay supple. Apply a good leather wax regularly to stop the upper from drying out or cracking.
After waxing, finish with protection spray to guard against water and stains.
Brush gently with a suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap.
Suede and nubuck are porous, so apply protection spray often. It keeps water out and stops stains from setting.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. These need very little upkeep.
An occasional coat of protection spray helps them handle wet weather even better.
Spot-clean with a damp cloth.
A light coat of protection spray helps the fabric repel dirt and liquids.
Wipe with a damp cloth, then buff with a little neutral shoe cream to keep the shine.
A light coat of protection spray keeps water and dirt off the finish.
New soles and leather soften with wear. Start with a few shorter outings and your pair will shape itself to your feet within a week or two.
If your shoes get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct heat.
Rotating between pairs lets the materials rest and recover their shape.
BUILT TO LAST, AND TO BE RECYCLED
Even well-loved shoes reach the end of the road one day. When yours do, bring them back and we’ll give their materials a new life.
