HOW TO CLEAN YOUR LEATHER SHOES STEP BY STEP

 

We all know that focusing on quality when purchasing a pair of shoes will benefit you in
the long run, especially when they are cared for properly.
Our product manager has collected some tips and tricks for you on how
to take care of your leather shoes, step by step.


PREPARE FOR CLEANING


1. Lay down sheets of newspaper on the surface that you will be working on to avoid any damage. You may wish to remove the laces from your shoes or boots not just to prevent them from getting dirty during the cleaning process, but also to ensure a proper polish of the arch and tongue.


2. Use a big horse dust brush to remove the dust and prepare your shoes for the treatment process – ensure you focus on the arch and tongue.

APPLY WAX


3. Following this (ensuring your shoes are dry), apply the wax with the small polish dauber whilst making circular movements. Use a generous amount of wax on the toecap and back of the shoe. Apply up to three times.

GIVE THE LAST FINISH


4. Finally, to make your shoes shiny, dampen the black cloth with some water and apply the wax. Make circular movements in order create a mirror shine effect.

5. For an extra touch dampen the dry side of the cloth and rub with straight movements.
