everything you need to know, in one place
Leather shoes are a classic wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down. With proper care, they can last for many years. Here is a care guide for all varieties of leathers.
CLEANING
SMOOTH LEATHER
Dusting: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently remove dust and debris from the leather surface.
Damp Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt or stains, dampen the cloth with clean water and wipe the leather gently. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents, as these can damage the leather.
CONDITIONING

Nourishing: Apply a quality leather conditioner to replenish the leather's natural oils and keep it supple. Test the conditioner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't alter the color or texture.
Applying: Using a soft cloth, apply a small amount of conditioner in a circular motion, working it into the leather evenly. Allow the conditioner to absorb fully before buffing it off with a clean cloth.
