Cleaning: Wipe the leather clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner (such as Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam) regularly to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its appearance. This also helps with water resistance.
Polishing: For a polished look, use a black shoe polish. Apply evenly, allow to dry, then buff with a brush or soft cloth.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
