Shoe care has long been a symbol of elegance. Until very recently, it was common to find shoe shiners on every corner of the main streets, and even in the largest hotels.
This importance is due to two main reasons: the first is the importance that footwear has for the rest of the outfit, since good footwear will undoubtedly improve the outfit you wear, but on the contrary, it can make the best of suits look poor quality if you wear dirty or old shoes. The second reason is precisely because of the value of the shoe, well-kept footwear indicates that its value is high, in other words, that it is worth your time to take care of it.
Leather requires basic care to maintain all its natural properties. With this care, we will achieve, in addition to a better appearance, greater durability and greater use of its benefits.
The materials must be protected with regular cleaning in order to maintain them in perfect condition, which will result in a longer lifespan of the shoe. Many leathers are cut and damaged because they dry out as a result of not being moisturised with appropriate products. Below are the different types of products needed for their care:
Protectors help us to protect the skin from possible stains as well as achieving greater waterproofing, achieving a significant increase in its durability.
Creams nourish and preserve the leather. If the shoes are multi-coloured, it is advisable to use colourless creams. However, if they are only one colour, it is advisable to use the same coloured cream.
Greases nourish the leather and make it more waterproof, so it is advisable to grease the shoes on rainy days, to create a layer that prevents water from seeping into the shoe. But this type of product has a flaw, since if it is not used in a suitable and uniform way it can leave marks or stains on the leather.
Anti-stain spray:
This relatively new product creates a layer that prevents dirt from sticking to the shoes. It can be used on all types of leather, but especially if we have suede shoes, stains will always be a big concern, so before using them it is very convenient to use this type of spray that prepares the leather to avoid stains to a large extent. Although when we buy a suede shoe we know that it is a very delicate material, using this product will make us have greater peace of mind when wearing them.
