How to make shoes last longer:

Leather shoes are expensive and that's why call for some extra care. From storing them right to cleaning with care, you do need to follow a few rules to make your shoes last longer. Here are 6 tips you must follow to take care of your shoes:



​*Don't store them in a box: Keep leather shoes in open or on a shoe rack, a box has humidity.



*​Dry them: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to dry. Don't use a heater, as this can crack the leather.

*​Clean with care: Soak a cloth in warm water to wipe the dust. Dry naturally, away from sunlight. Give them a break to let them breathe.



*​Use shoe trees: Choose shoe trees made of cedar wood, they not only absorb the moisture but also maintain the shape of the shoe.

*​Use a leather conditioner: Leather tends to lose its natural oils, moisture, and flexibility. Use a conditioner every two weeks.

*Polish: We suggest picking up wax polishes which make the surface of the shoe shine, without penetrating through the leather. The wax polish creates a coating over the shoe and giving the appropriate amount of shine that is required.
