Unlike many mass-produced brands, roccamore shoes are not covered with heavy coatings, which often contain plastic to give the shoes an artificially-perfect finish.
The fact that our shoes are made by hand in natural materials means there can be tiny imperfections, which in no way harm the quality or wearability of the shoes. These imperfections are not defects, but rather a reminder that the shoes are produced by hand and with integrity.
If you believe there is an imperfection which prevents you from wearing, enjoying, or loving the heels - please submit a claim HERE.
We recommend spraying your leather or suede shoes with the roccamore shoe protector all over the outer surface, for full protection. You can also use any other brand of suede/leather combination spray. Spray the shoes from 20cm distance, as straight and evenly as possible. Let them dry for at least 12 hours. Repeat once a month for optimal protection.
DO NOT USE SPRAY ON our metallic (gold or silver) models. The chemicals inside the spray can react negatively with the lamination of the leather and cause damage.

If the soles wear out or get damaged, they can be repaired by a shoemaker. For good maintenance, we recommend doing that at the first signs of serious wear and tear, as repairs are easier and more effective before the damage gets too heavy.
Roccamore heels are covered in various materials; whether it is the same soft leather or suede used to make the entire shoe, or has special details such as lacquered plastic, or patent leather; we use the highest quality materials.

If you do, please be mindful of the heels, as they may get scratched. If this happens, they can usually be repaired by a shoemaker.
