The Golden Rule
"The best thing you can do for your leather shoes is to use cedar shoe trees and never wear the same pair two days in a row. This allows the leather to dry out completely and maintain its shape."
Maintenance Tips
Cleaning
Always remove surface dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth before applying any products. For suede, use a specialized suede brush.
Conditioning
Leather is a natural material that needs moisture. Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking.
Polishing
Use a high-quality wax or cream polish to restore color and provide a protective layer against the elements.
Drying
If your shoes get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near a heater, as this can cause leather to shrink and crack.
