WHY LEATHER CARE MATTERS
Make Your Leather Shoes Last Years, Not Months
Well-made leather shoes are an investment. With a simple care routine, you can keep the leather soft, the color rich, and the shape sharp for years.
Regular brushing, proper drying, and conditioning prevent cracks and deep creases. Add cedar shoe trees and the right polish, and your Shoescoo pair will mould to your foot while still looking clean enough for any meeting or event.
BASIC CARE, BIG IMPACT
3 SIMPLE HABITS TO KEEP YOUR LEATHER LOOKING NEW
1.Brush after wear – Use a soft horsehair brush to remove dust, salt, and surface dirt. This keeps pores from clogging and prevents premature cracking.
2.Let them rest and dry – Never dry leather near direct heat. Let shoes air-dry with shoe trees inside to absorb moisture and smooth out wrinkles.
3.Condition and polish – Every few weeks, apply a small amount of leather conditioner, then polish to restore color, shine, and protection.
