Using these Samuel Hubbard women's Marin Gore - Lace shoes is a breeze. Just use the elasticized gore - lace to slip them on and off easily. They're great for work, casual outings, or any day - to - day activities. When it comes to maintenance, keep them clean by gently wiping the nubuck uppers with a soft brush. Avoid getting them too wet, as it can damage the leather. If they get dirty, use a mild leather cleaner. For the insoles, you can remove them and air them out regularly to keep them fresh. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Make sure not to over - bend or twist the shoes too much to preserve their shape and the flexibility of the outsole.
