Shoe Maintenance

Home:

Here are some handy hints to help keep your shoes in tip top condition,

  • Shoes need to be lightly brushed to remove dirt before you apply a polishing product.
  • Canvas, leather and suede shoes need the correct polishing products. This will help fill in any minute cracks on the surface, and help avoid the cracks from widening.
  • Typically leather should use wax, suede a cleaning bush and block, canvas a damn polishing liquid.
  • Shoe tree are handy tools to have, they stretch out the shoe to the correct proportions and avoid the shoe from creasing up and eventually bending.
  • Do not place wet or damp shoes next to a radiator or heating fan. This will not help the shoe maintain it's shape. They should be left to dry in a average heated and ventilated room.
  • Avoid washing canvas trainers and shoes in a washing machine.
  • You will need a waterproof wax protectent unless the shoe has been stated as waterproof.
  • Alternating your shoes per day, and not using new shoes day after day and in wet conditions should help extend the life cycle of them.
