Take care of your shoes – make them look like new again!
Shoes are an important part of our style and deserve some attention to keep them looking good and lasting a long time. With just a few minutes of care, you can make them look like new again. Materials like nappa leather, leather, and suede, in particular, require special attention to remain beautiful and functional for years to come.
In the production of our eco-friendly shoes, we consciously avoid using chrome and metals. To ensure that natural leather lasts a long time and retains its charm, here are some simple care tips for you:
Nappa leather
Nappa leather is soft and supple and requires a little more care:
-
Dust with a dry cotton cloth.
-
Rub well to add shine.
-
Apply a colorless cream, always using natural products.
-
Tip: Rub in with a soft sponge and very little colorless natural cream (e.g. horse fat or beeswax).
Oiled leather
Oiled leather is often found in hiking boots or winter boots:
-
Use a brush to remove dirt.
-
Apply special greases for oiled leather, available from specialist retailers.
-
Tip: Always use horse fat or natural waxes.
When caring for our eco-friendly leather products, it is important to avoid chemical products.
Chemicals could impair the beneficial properties of vegetable-tanned leather. Please note that the leather may darken slightly when oil or wax is applied; however, this is perfectly normal.
Simply invest a few minutes if your shoes no longer look their best, and they will shine like new again.
With these simple tips, you can ensure that your shoes not only look good, but also last longer!
