Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your leather shoes:
Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 1-2 months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain its luster.
Polishing: Use a black shoe polish periodically to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft brush or cloth and buff to a sheen.
Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray formulated for leather to protect against the elements. Reapply as per product instructions.
Storage: When not in use, store your shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Over-wearing: Allow your shoes to rest between wears (ideally 24-48 hours) to let the leather and lining dry out completely.
