Care Guide

Caring for hand-finished sneakers

Your Last Annex pair is a hand-finished object. It deserves care proportionate to the craft.

Daily care - Store in the included dust bag when not worn - Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight - Keep away from moisture where possible

Cleaning - Surface dust: soft, dry brush only - Light marks: barely-damp cloth, gentle pressure - Do not use commercial sneaker cleaners, micellar water, or solvent-based products on hand-painted surfaces - Do not machine wash

Leather care - Condition the leather every 3–4 months with a natural, solvent-free conditioner - Pull-up leathers will develop a patina with wear - this is intentional and part of the character

Hand-painted surfaces - Sealed for durability, but not indestructible - Avoid heavy abrasion on painted areas - If paint chips occur on an older pair, contact studio@lastannex.com - we assess restoration requests

Rain and water - These pairs are not waterproof - If your pair gets wet, remove the laces, stuff lightly with paper, and allow to dry naturally at room temperature - Do not use heat sources (radiators, hairdryers)

Storage - Store in the dust bag, box-free where possible, to allow the leather to breathe - Do not store in plastic bags
