Shoe Care Guide
Professional Shoe Care Guide
Premium leather shoes are an essential part of your professional image. Proper care not only extends the life of your footwear but also maintains its elegant appearance.
Daily Care Routine
- Cleaning - Use a soft horsehair brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a professional leather cleaner with a soft cloth.
- Conditioning - Regularly apply leather conditioner to replenish oils and prevent cracking. We recommend conditioning every 2-3 weeks.
- Polishing - Use quality shoe polish to restore the leather's shine. Choose polish that matches your shoe color for best results.
- Protection - Apply waterproof and stain-resistant spray to create a protective barrier against water and stains.
Care by Material Type
Smooth Leather (Oxford Shoes, Derby Shoes)
After brushing, apply leather conditioner, then buff to a shine with a soft cloth. Avoid excessive pressure when polishing.
Suede & Nubuck
Use a specialized suede brush in one direction only. Never use regular shoe polish. Apply suede-specific protective spray for best results.
Patent Leather
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid cleaners containing alcohol or solvents that may damage the patent finish.
Storage Recommendations
- Use shoe trees to maintain shape and prevent creasing
- Store in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight
- For long-term storage, use dust bags for protection
- Never store wet shoes - allow them to air dry naturally first
