To ensure your shoes last longer and maintain their good appearance, you should follow some care rules:
-
Avoid washing shoes with running water to avoid over-wetting the material. Leather shoes should be cleaned with a natural bristle brush and shoe polish. This approach will help specialized footwear, such as military boots, maintain not only their appearance but also their functionality.
-
Dry shoes at room temperature, stuffed with paper or using special devices to maintain their shape. Avoid drying shoes near a fire, on a heating device, or in direct sunlight.
-
Use specialized products designed for shoe care.
Smooth leather (all types of leather with a smooth and dense surface)
Care is best done using creams based on wax, fat and oil.
Pile leather (suede, velor, nubuck, split leather)
To protect against stains, use special sprays. Dry shoes are cleaned with foam and crepe brushes.
Textile materials
Stain removal is done using special aerosols and textile brushes. Applying a protective impregnation is essential.
High-tech materials
When using shoes made from such materials, it is best to use water-repellent protective sprays that preserve the properties of the fabric.
