Taking care of your new shoes ensures that they last longer. Please read the following guidelines to help care for your shoes.

Leather uppers should be treated regularly, use a good quality cream for a dull lustre or Bees wax polish for a high shine. This helps to moisture the leather and prevents cracking or creasing, always ensure your shoes are dry before applying.

Never use liquid polish applicators on fine leather shoes; it can contain chemicals that destroy natural leather.



Suede and Nubuck should be cleaned gently with a suede brush. Removing stubborn marks will require a suitable product available in any good quality shoe care store.

Please be aware that Suede’s and Nubucks can never be made entirely colourfast and care should be taken on carpets, furnishings etc.

If your shoes become wet allow them to dry naturally, never dry them using direct heat or a radiator.



Natural leather heels and soles are often made up of several layers. Leather will expand when wet and should be dried slowly to avoid separation of these layers.

Leather shoes can require a day to dry out from natural perspiration...avoid wearing your shoes on consecutive days.



Natural latex or rubber soles can sometimes develop a white powdery surface; this can easily be wiped away with a damp cloth.



Using wooden shoe trees will maintain the shape of your shoes and help absorb moisture.



Always use a shoe horn when putting on your shoes; this avoids damage to the heel area.
