Made with Love, Handle with Love.

Alfena™ shoes are made out of 100% biodegradable, high-quality, vegetable tanned leather.

The leather is sealed with premium natural fats and waxes, and is completely absent of a chemical coating which usually contains polluting color pigments and microplastics.

Alfena’s benefits for you and our planet require some key maintenance points in order to keep your new shoes in great shape!

Please keep in mind; our leather is completely natural and needs to be cared for appropriately.

Before wearing your shoes for the first time, we recommend applying a neutral waterproofing spray.Once in a while, show your shoes some love and polish them! However do not overdo the colorless shoe cream, as this can block the leather’s pores and decrease the ability of your feet to breathe.Small scratches can often be treated with matching shoe polish.If your shoes get wet: do not place them in direct sunlight! Allow them to dry naturally.Never wear your shoes while they are still wet!Vegetable-tanned leathers are extremely sensitive to humidity and heat. Rain and moisture can leave marks and result in colour changes.Vegetable-tanned leather become darker throughout many wears.Treating a stain: carefully clean the leather with mild soapy water and treat your shoes with shoe polish or vegetable oil (We recommend pre-testing the shoe polish agent in an inconspicuous area!) afterwards.
