Maintaining your premium leather shoes will prolong their life and keep them looking their best:
Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
Polishing: Apply a quality black leather polish regularly to restore shine and nourish the leather. Follow the product instructions for application.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially during wetter seasons.
Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators), which can crack or damage leather. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the shoes when not in use.
