How to Clean Your Leather Shoes
4

• Majority of shoe manufacturers and sellers sell
  in-house leather shoe cleaning creams.

• Do not forget to ask the shop assistant to tell
  you about it. To sweep off the preliminary dirt
  from your shoe, take off the laces and brush the
  body gently.

• Slid your hand under the flap to keep the upper
  part firm so that you can apply the cleaning
  cream or saddle soap on the leather parts of your
  shoes.

• Use the brush you had used before to work the
  cleaner into the leather and pay attention to
  visible marks or scuffs.

• Leave the handmade leather shoe to dry for at
  least 20 minutes before polishing.

Protect Your Leather Shoes from Harsh Weather
7

• To protect your prized shoe from harsh weather
  conditions, a spray on repellant is the best
  option.

• Sponge your shoe with warm water to prepare it
  for the repellant spray. That increases the
  porosity of the skin for better absorption.

• Water based repellants are considered breathable
  which allows extra moisture to dissolve for
  smooth finish.

Storing your Handmade Leather Shoe Properly
9

• A cedar shoe tree is the best investment for
  storing your leather shoes because it soaks up
  disagreeable odors.

• Once you have taken them off, stuff the toe of
  the shoe with butter paper and hang them from the
  tree.

• This process will reduce shrinkage and creases on
  your shoes and extend their lives.
