BASIC LEATHER SHOE CARE GUIDE
Clean regularly
How: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt after every use.
Why: Prevents buildup that can damage the leather over time.
Condition the leather
How: Use a leather conditioner or cream every 2–4 weeks (depending on use). Apply a small amount with a clean cloth and rub gently.
Why: Keeps leather moisturized, soft, and prevents cracking.
Polish for Shine & Protection
How: Choose a matching or neutral shoe polish. Apply evenly with a soft cloth or brush, let it sit for a few minutes, then buff with a horsehair brush.
Why: Restores color, adds shine, and provides a protective layer against dirt and water.
Waterproof if necessary
How: Apply a leather protector spray if you expect exposure to rain or wet conditions.
Why: Helps repel water and protect from moisture damage and stains.
Store Properly
How:
- Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Use dust bags for storage.
Why: Prevents warping, discoloration, and mildew growth.
Let shoes rest
How: Rotate pairs. Do not wear the same leather shoes two days in a row.
Why: Allows the leather to breathe and dry, preventing odor and premature wear.
Avoid harsh condition
Do not: Soak in water, expose to direct heat (like dryers), or scrub with abrasive materials.
Why: These can dry out, crack, or warp the leather.
Address scuffs & stains promply
How:
- Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
