When it comes to shoe care products , it is important to understand that each type of footwear requires specific and constant care.
Shoe care is crucial to the appearance and lifespan of your footwear. By following a few simple rules, you can keep your shoes beautiful and in great condition for a long time.
1. Shoe impregnation
Shoe impregnation is the first step in preparing footwear for further use, in order to enjoy your new shoes for as long as possible! Shoe impregnation protects shoes from water and dirt. Otherwise, white spots may appear on the footwear (from chemicals, dirt or salt), and unimpregnated footwear wears out much faster.
The footwear to be impregnated must be clean and dry, the product is sprayed three times in a row, waiting until it dries completely and is absorbed into the surface of the shoe.
2. Clean your shoes regularly
We recommend cleaning your shoes every day, as soon as you return from the outdoors. To remove dirt, dust, and grime, choose high-quality, everyday footwear care products.
3. Footwear care by shoe type
Leather shoe care. For natural leather, we recommend using shoe creams that nourish the leather, renew the color, and increase the shoes' resistance to moisture, dust, and dirt.
Suede shoe care. This type of footwear needs to be cleaned dry and with special brushes and sponges designed for this type of leather. It is important to protect this type of leather from moisture, so it is recommended to use special care products to make the leather surface water and dirt resistant.
Synthetic shoe care. Footwear made from synthetic materials should be protected from moisture and cleaned best with a soft brush or silicone sponge, and if stains need to be cleaned, with a special cleaning agent designed to remove stains.
Textile shoe care . Textile footwear should be protected from moisture, for this we recommend using impregnating (water-resistant) products. In order to maintain the original shape of the shoes, it is advisable to use shoehorns. We also suggest using a shoehorn when putting on shoes. If such shoes have a leather sole, it is advisable to cover this sole with a protective layer.

6. Do not dry your shoes on a radiator – let them dry at room temperature.
7. Prepare your shoes for storage - at the end of the season, clean them, air them out, spray them with a waterproofing agent, and only then store them.
8. To maintain the original shape of the footwear, long boots should be stored in their natural position and protected from bending of the boot. Use shoe covers for leather shoes.
9. Footwear absorbs moisture, so don't wear the same pair of shoes for several days in a row, let your shoes dry for at least 24 hours.
