DO NOT HAVE TIME TO SPEND ON SHOES CARE?

It's not only about your shoes look good. I's about preserving and addind a life to your favourite shoes! 
Here come 4 easy steps:

• clean
• condition
• polish
• preserve

As simple as it is. Let's see how easy it can be.

Firstly, remove dirt by cleaning. Let the shoes or boots dry. Conditioning the leather part of boots will protect them from cracking. Use non-toxic shoe polish. Rub the polish into the shoe with a soft cloth, and allow it to dry thoroughly.

TIP: olive oil works for smooth leather as well! Eco-friendly and no chemicals.

To maintain your shoes choose weatherproofing products wisely and suitable for your individual shoes pair. 

Use anti-moth sprays, scented bags or other products to keep moths and bugs away. Condition your shoes and boots regularly. 

WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT?


Leather can dry without proper conditioning and care. Eventualy it cracs! 

TIP: For natural footwear such fabric loafers, natural wool boots, woolen slippers, shoes with natural fur use anti-moth repellents. You can rest assured that your favourite shoes will be save from moths. Anti-moth bags (or whatever it is) are scented thus footwear will stay in perfect condition. No moths, no holes.

And finally. Do yourself a favour - store your boots using boots shaper. They will make your shoes and boots last an extra mile. You do not want to have any wrinkles on calves, do you? The perfect way of feltboots care is inserting the boots shaper immediately after taking off your boots. This allows the interior moisture to be instantly absorbed.

THE NEXT TIME...

...you buy a pair of shoes think about your investment to be protected. 

Share your tips in the comments below how you take care of your shoes. What is your best of the best practice?

THERE IS NO NEED TO BE UPSET

• tense and relax your body
• stop thinking about things that bother you
• read a happy book before going to sleep
