Leather needs care and nutrition. It is therefore advisable to maintain shoes regularly so that the leather stays in good condition. With specific shoe care products, good maintenance is possible for different leathers. Shoe care products are limited available online. We offer a wider range of products in our stores with tailor-made advice. You can also visit a specialized shoemaker for advice and the right shoe care product.

General tips

1. Treat the leather before wearing it, this prevents unpleasant stains and protects the leather against moisture.
2. Repeat the treatment regularly, preferably weekly.
3. For any maintenance, brush any sand and dirt with a soft brush from the shoes.
4. Never let leather bags or shoes (with leather soles) dry near the heating when they have become wet. The leather tends to dry out and will become hard.

-Step-by-step-
1. Apply lotion thinly and evenly with a soft cloth.
2. Color the sides of the heel and the sole edges with an edge marker.
3. Apply the lotion thinly and evenly with a soft cloth (upper) and apply a brush (above the sole and heel edges).
4. Allow the lotion to retract until the leather feels smooth and dry, after which the shoe can be brushed with a polishing brush.
5. Apply lotion with a soft cloth, thin and equal.
6. Allow the lotion to retract until the leather is dull and has a uniform color, after which the shoe can be brushed with a polishing brush followed by a soft polishing cloth and for extra shine with a nylon stocking.
