SHOECARE GUIDE
Regularly conditioning your footwear is essential to keep it supple and promote longevity. It's best to use products specifically formulated for the material of your shoes, whether leather, suede, synthetic, or other materials. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when applying any shoe care product. Additionally, it's advisable to test a small area first to ensure the product will achieve the desired results before applying it to the entire shoe.
Our Recommendations
Get Weather Ready
The last thing you want is wet and cold feet, when the rain or snow comes. Leather boots, especially those lined with fur, look stylish and will definitely keep your feet warm, but they’re not always water-resistant. Protect your footwear before venturing out.
For Suede And Nubuck lovers...
Whilst suedes aren’t the best choice for wet weather conditions it’s always worthwhile applying some protection every now and then in case you get caught out in a shower.
Rubber brush ideal for removing dirt from suede and nubuck.
Loveable Leathers
Avoid wearing your leather shoes every day, as leather needs to breathe. Give them a break to ensure their longevity. After each wear, it's important to clean your leather shoes by removing any dirt and dust.
When storing your leather shoes, use a shoe tree to help maintain their shape.
Polish your leather shoes every six wears using a good-quality shoe polish to keep them looking their best.
Airing & Drying Out
Water & Snow: Insert old newspaper to absorb the moisture and let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Wipe away the water with a clean cloth.
To keep your footwear smelling fresh try our Dasco Odour Stop- An anti-bacterial spray that immediately eliminates odours from footwear.
Rotate your footwear
Individual wear patterns will eventually alter the structural integrity of a shoe. Wearing shoes with varying degrees of wear, cushioning, or stability will keep foot fatigue at bay and ensure longevity of your footwear. Leaving your shoes to thoroughly dry out between wears is another good reason for alternating your shoes every day or so. It's also a good excuse to purchase a new pair of shoes.
Caring For Vegan Footwear
Our WESTLAND BY Josef Seibel collection features high quality, vegan-friendly materials. Cleaning these easy care materials is simple; usually, a damp cloth with mild soap will effectively remove dirt, salt, or grease stains. If soap and water don't work, there are specifically formulated products designed for synthetic materials. Always test a small area first before cleaning the entire shoe to ensure it achieves the desired result.
