Shoe care

Leather

Wipe dirt off of the uppers with lukewarm water and dry the shoes in room temperature. Use protective and nursing creams to preserve the leather. You can also use appropriate sprays to protect the upper. Liquid fast polishes should only be used occasionally since they only provide shine, not nurture.

Read the instructions and choose the appropriate tone for the leather. Spread polish on a clean shoe, let it stay for 10 minutes and wipe the extra polish off. Shine with a shoebrush or a lint free cloth going back and forth. Store your clean and shined shoes in room temperature, in a dustless place and they will stay in great condition for a long time.

Shoes with GORE-TEX® should be cared the same way you take care of shoes without GORE-TEX® except of course there is no need for wax oil for waterproofness. 
 

Suede

Wipe the dirt off of the uppers with lukewarm water and dry the shoes in room temperature. Dry dirt can be wiped off with a shoebrush or sponge made for suede shoes which doesn't leave lint or break the surface of the leather.

Clean the shoe before applying any protective products on it. Read the instructions and choose the appropriate tone for the leather. Try it on a less visible part of the shoe first. Store your clean and shined shoes in room temperature, in a dustless place and they will stay in great condition for a long time.
