Top 5 Ways to Take Care of Your Leather Shoes
Below are 5 simple and efficient ways to take care of your leather shoes and keep them clean and nice on the long run.

Regular Cleaning

The first shoe care tip to take care of your shoe is to have it cleaned. This is done by using a saddle soap or a smooth leather shoe cleaner to remove any dirt and dust. And let the shoes dry for a few minutes, then shine with an old cotton T-shirt or a proper shoe-shine cloth.

Use Shoe Conditioners

This next tip of taking care of your leather shoe consists of using natural conditioner. Apply it often and generously, especially after cleaning shoes with soap, which will strip moisture from leather. Good shoe conditioners absorb and moisturizes, leaving shoes soft and supple. This will make the leather less prone to cracking and drying out.

Weatherproof

Another way to take care of your leather shoe is to weatherproof it. This is done by using protectant sprays that aren’t oil-based or rain/stain repellant to keep it weatherproof from sunlight or rain. This way, there will be a lower chance of leather discoloration.

Regular Polishing

This is a popularly recommended tip for taking care of your leather shoes. On a weekly basis, apply a shoe polish on your leather shoes. Endeavour to choose a polish that matches your shoe especially wax-based polish, instead of a cream-based one. This will help to soften and protect your shoe.

Timely Repairs

Shoe repair is another way to take care of your leather shoes. If perhaps you notice something really wrong with your shoe (like part of the shoe is coming off), don’t wait before there is a permanent damage to have it repaired. And this is done by finding a good cobbler to keep it in good shape and fit.
