Footwear is one of the most important elements of our wardrobe, not only aesthetically but also functionally. Nowadays it would be difficult to live without footwear. Footwear allows us to walk on all types of surfaces, minimising the risk of injury. However, a poor choice of footwear can lead to health problems in the medium and long term.

When we buy a pair of riding boots, we must be aware that if we want them to look as good as new after using them, we must give them special care. In this blog we will give you some tips so that you can get perfect boots for longer.

Once we have chosen our riding boots, we must ensure that they adapt to our feet, to obtain the comfort that the practice of the sport requires and that is expected from good leather boots such as those of our brand.

Shoes are one of the most useful items of clothing and their use dates back to prehistoric times. As we all know, the function of footwear is to provide protection and comfort to the foot in the daily task of moving around the world. Nowadays, shoes, in addition to the function described above, also serve other functions such as aesthetics, as an element of status, or for medical purposes such as orthopedic shoes. The way in which we design footwear has varied greatly over the centuries, with sophisticated techniques and complexity.

The moccasin shoes They are ideal for the well-dressed man of the 21st century. They are elegant and comfortable at the same time, and can be used in all kinds of situations, from work days, meetings, leisure or daily life. Although they can also be used by women, they are mainly a male shoe. They are characterized by not having laces or support and being very easy to put on.

This type of footwear is also known as a model “Derby”Its origin is military, so initially it was only intended for men, it owes its name "Blucher” to a Prussian general named Gebhard Leberecht von Blucher, who equipped his soldiers with this type of footwear at the Battle of Waterloo against Napoleon, achieving victory over the French.  

All good footwear needs to be looked after and paid attention to. As we wear it, it becomes more and more personal and takes on a unique naturalness that adapts to the wearer's foot.

Like any natural product, aging is a logical and inevitable process; but in order to delay it as much as possible and maintain its properties, it is necessary to take care of it and give it the correct treatment to guarantee the preservation of the skin, as well as maintain its flexibility, natural feel and beauty.

The leathers tanned by hand for JOSÉ DE MORA shoes are of exceptional quality but, like all leathers, they are natural, noble and maintain their original essence. Consequently, they require care to preserve their characteristics over time. It is true that the leather chosen by JOSÉ DE MORA is very resistant but it inevitably suffers constant aggressions such as water, humidity, heat, sun... Therefore, nourishing and protecting the footwear will allow it to be more pleasant to use and its life to be extended over the years.

At JOSÉ DE MORA we have a whole range of special products that will protect footwear from external aggressions. On the one hand, we have water-based natural creams They do not contain chemicals that degrade the leather; in addition, these creams maintain the original color and give a full-of-life shine that is exclusive to a shoe of exceptional quality. And on the other hand, we offer our customers a paste made from natural components based on beeswax and jojoba oil, a long-lived plant that exceeds an average of 100 years of life. The combination of both products enhances the beauty of footwear and prolongs its life.
