Leather shoe care basics 101

Okay, here are the fundamentals of leather shoe care:

• Brush off dirt and dust regularly with a shoe brush or soft cloth
• Use shoe care products specifically designed for leather, such as leather balm or shoe cream
• Waterproof your leather shoes before using them for the first time and then regularly for protection against moisture
• Let wet leather shoes dry at room temperature, never near radiators or other heat sources
• Store shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in shoe boxes or breathable fabric shoe bags

By following these simple steps, you'll keep your leather shoes looking fresh for a long time. But there's more you can do to boost durability!

Next level leather shoe care

Want to take your shoe care to the next level? Then focus on these tricks:

Rotate your shoes

Just like you, your shoes need a break sometimes. By rotating between different pairs, you give them a chance to dry out properly between uses. This significantly reduces wear and tear! Aim for at least 2-3 days between each use.

Use shoe trees

Shoe trees are perfect for maintaining the shape of your leather shoes when you're not wearing them. Wooden or plastic shoe trees work fine, but make sure to choose the right size for your shoes. Shoe trees also absorb moisture from inside the shoe.

Polish as needed

When your leather shoes start to look worn, it's time for some polish! Choose a shoe cream that matches the color of the leather and work it in with a soft cloth or brush. Let the shoes dry and then buff the surface with a clean cloth for extra shine.

Common leather shoe care mistakes 🙈

Okay, now that you know what you SHOULD do, it's equally important to know what you SHOULD avoid. Here are some classic mistakes many people make when it comes to leather shoe care:

• Using regular butter or cooking oil instead of leather balm (it can discolor and ruin the leather!)
• Drying wet leather shoes with a hair dryer or radiator (it dries out the leather and can lead to cracks)
• Storing leather shoes in plastic bags (the leather can't breathe and risks getting moldy)
• Forgetting to waterproof new leather shoes (do it right away so they're protected!)

Avoid these pitfalls and your leather shoes will be in safe hands! 🙌
