Impregnation and proper use of leather shoes
After purchasing shoes from a stationary or online store, do not put them on immediately. First of all, let's take care of their impregnation. It is an easy treatment using substances dedicated to the skin. They are designed to protect our new shoes from both moisture and dirt. Impregnation is easy to perform - just follow the instructions on the packaging of the special preparation. And it's worth doing. Leather shoes are not cheap, but they are delicate. Most often, they have a sophisticated design and are very universal. Taking care of them is the key to happiness and wearing them for a long time.
Proper use is nothing more than changing your shoes. Treating leather footwear as everyday wear leads to their rapid destruction. Let's also try to take care of them properly, which means not bending the front part or tripping over them. All such activities have a destructive effect on the leather material and may lead to the shoes wearing out quickly.
What about shoes after the season?
After the season, we cannot forget about leather shoes. When we stop using a given pair, it is best to prepare it before putting it in the closet and forgetting about it. Let's put paper balls in it, which will prevent the shoe from collapsing and changing its original appearance. If you don't have time for such balls, it is worth ordering special shoe stuffers, available in various shoe stores - also online. Thanks to this, we will be sure that the footwear will be in perfect condition for the next season, without any unpleasant mishaps.
Our last tip is to polish shiny shoes and polish matte leather. Doing so will significantly extend the life of your favorite footwear, and that's what we want.
