Thank you for your review. We are sorry, that you are disapointed...
Vegetable tanning is a natural process in which natural tannins from the bark and leaves of trees and plants are used. The natural process results in each skin being unique with individual variations, small spots and scars. It also results in the leather ageing beautifully with patina and usually a gradual darkening in color. Because of the natural process and finish, vegetable tanned leather is often initially sensitive to water stains, direct sunlight and heat. Therefore, avoid wearing your clogs in wet weather or leaving them in direct sunlight.
With wear, the leather fibers will become more flexible and the leather will become less sensitive to water. Be very careful if you need to use a cleaning product, cream or oil. Ask for advice when you buy the product in your shoe repair shop, and try on a small hidden spot and start out using a very small amount of the cleaner/cream/oil.
