Shoe care, Shoes are an essential part of our daily lives. Not only do they protect our feet but also play a significant role in our overall appearance.
However, without proper care, shoes can deteriorate quickly, losing their appeal and even becoming uncomfortable to wear. That's why it's crucial to learn about shoe care and develop habits that can help preserve their quality and extend their lifespan.
Smooth and shiny leathers
- Regular cleaning is the foundation of proper shoe care. Different types of shoes require different cleaning techniques, but the general rule of thumb is to remove dirt and debris promptly.
- Use a wax & shine Shoe Spray with soft shoe polishing cloth to gently clean and restore the natural lustre of the exterior, for leather shoes.
- A shoe cream with a high pigmentation should be applied with a soft polish applicator brush or soft cloth to cover stains and scuffs.
- Use a polishing cloth to buff the shoe to restore the natural lustre of the shoe.
Suede & nubuck leathers
- Use a suede & nubuck cleaner / combination cleaner with a suede brush.
- Using a shoe protector is a must. This should be used before the first wear of the shoe and used after the shoe has been cleaned and dried. (This product makes the cleaning process simpler).
Canvas / Material
- Use a combination cleaner with a soft sponge.
- A protector should be used after the shoe has been cleaned and dried, also before first use.
Rotation of shoes
- Give your shoes time to rest and recover by rotating them regularly.
- Wearing the same pair of shoes every day can accelerate their wear and tear.
- This allows the materials to breathe, reduces odour build up, and helps maintain their shape.
