How to take care of leather, elegant shoes?

Leather shoes are footwear that we should have in our wardrobe, at least for summer or winter. Such shoes are not only extremely durable, but also look beautiful. They are suitable for a wedding or Christmas Eve. It all depends on the circumstances. And while buying them is simple and pleasant, taking care of these shoes requires a lot of patience and regularity. Only in this way will we be able to enjoy their quality and aesthetics for longer.

What do you have to pay attention to when it comes to this type of footwear? First of all, let's not ignore the seller who offers us a leather product, available immediately. These types of products are not an additional trick for customers, but an opportunity to extend the life of a newly purchased pair of shoes. How exactly does it work and does the advice cover our products? We can answer this second question in the affirmative!

Adequate impregnation

Impregnation is the first step towards using our shoes. Thanks to it, we can enjoy the quality of footwear. The impregnation should be used before the first fitting of shoes after purchase, preferably a few hours before going out. There are actually many specifics on the Polish and foreign market, so there is plenty to choose from. It is worth remembering to choose the right impregnation for a pair of shoes so as not to damage the color and the top layer. Additionally, many new users of leather footwear make one very significant mistake. It is a single spraying of the footwear with the impregnation, while in fact we should apply several layers of the specific until it is absorbed into the material. Only in this way, the shoes are really protected against dirt and moisture.

Preparation of shoes for winter and summer

Summer, although usually hot, can surprise us with quick storms that will just come out of nowhere. Therefore, it is worth remembering to protect your shoes before and after such a critical situation. Newspapers that absorb moisture will work best for this type of help. Many people put wet leather shoes on the radiator. It's a mistake - leather may become too hardened and the shoes may not be suitable for re-insertion. Additionally, if we hide warmer shoes in the wardrobe and use other shoes more often, it is worth stuffing leather shoes with a special item that will keep the same shape. We should do the same with each shoe, especially if we hide them in a shoe basket. It is also worth considering when dressing whether it is better to use a shoehorn sometimes. By using it, we will be able to keep the back of the shoes in very good condition for many years.
