A recycled corn, wool, and kenaf insole provides cushioned comfort all day long, while natural variations in carotene levels lend each cream-colored outsole its unique character. With its clean, modern silhouette and eco-conscious design, the Mello in Summit Regenerative pairs effortlessly with minimalist streetwear or elevated casual ensembles—perfect with slim-fit denim and a crisp tee or chinos and a lightweight jacket for a refined, sustainable statement.

Care Instructions: These are easy to maintain with the right approach: Before first wear (optional): Apply a light, even coat of our Eco Protect Spray from a distance—just a fine mist, not saturated. You can reapply every few weeks for extra protection. Cleaning: Brush off dry dirt and debris with a microfiber cloth . Skip traditional shoe cleaners—they can interfere with the leather’s natural properties. Water contact: Try to avoid water when possible, as it can cause discoloration. If water droplets do get on them, gently wipe away with a slightly damp cloth. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry, dark place for long-term storage, as the leather can be sensitive to prolonged sunlight exposure.
