General advice
Leather is a natural material. Certain irregularities of the skin are signs of its authenticity. It is recommended to keep the skin hydrated. Natural factors such as the sun, dust, humidity and pollution can alter a leather. In order to preserve the longevity of your shoes, we would advise to clean, nourish and protect the leather.
Cleaning, nourishment and protection
After cleaning, shoes can be treated with cream and wax. You should choose a cream and a wax that are specifically for the leather and colour of your shoes. With the help of a cloth, apply the cream on the surface to be treated. This process can be carried out on the internal and external parts of the shoe. Proceed in the same way with the wax on the outside area of the shoes only. After several minutes, polish with the help of a polishing brush to rediscover the original shine of the leather. For optimal protection, you can also waterproof after the waxing stage.
Maintenance Advice
We advise you to:
Use a shoe horn to put on your shoes and to preserve the heel areas. Store your shoes with wooden/ foam shoe trees, in order to restore them to their original shape. Waterproof shoes made from delicate materials or leathers before wearing them for the first time. Repeat this process from time to time, taking care to remove any dust beforehand. Use products that are specifically for the material in question. Regularly check the wear to your soles and heel tips.
