Maintenance

To enjoy your purchase for a long time, it is important to take good care of your shoes.

  1. Always loosen the laces or fasteners before putting on or taking off your shoes.
  2. Use your hands to take off your shoes and never step on the heel. Use a shoehorn to put them on. This prevents the leather from tearing due to improper use and your shoes from breaking prematurely. This damage is not covered by any form of warranty !
  3. Let your brogues and especially smart leather and suede shoes breathe after wearing. Don't put them in the closet right away. You lose a lot of perspiration through your foot. It is better to change shoes regularly, this gives perspiration enough time to leave the shoe in a natural way.
  4. Use wooden shoe trees in your shoe immediately after wearing. The shoe is still warm and the leather and/or suede supple. The wooden shoe tree, which also absorbs perspiration, ensures that the shoe retains its shape well.
  5. Never place wet shoes on the radiator/heating. Fill them with newspaper or kitchen roll and let them dry at room temperature, in a well-ventilated area. Remove dirt with a dry brush before the dirt can dry.
  6. Suede shoes in particular, but also wedding and dance shoes require extra careful care. We advise you to spray the shoes with a protective shoe spray (nano protector) before wearing them. This not only keeps the shoes looking good for longer, but also gives them a protective layer against (weather) influences from outside.
  7. If you wear your shoes frequently, it is best to spray them regularly. First brush them with a special shoe brush. This also applies to leather men's shoes. A shoe cream in colour ensures that your leather shoes retain their colour. By applying transparent gel cream with a soft cloth, your shoes will regain their shine.
  8. Keep a stiff zipper running smoothly with candle wax or beeswax.
  9. Give your shoes a thorough polish once a week. Make sure the shoe polish penetrates the leather well. Brush in the lengthwise direction of the seams. Always use the prescribed products to clean your shoes.
