Care for Your Shoes – Make Them Look Like New Again!
Shoes are an important part of our style and deserve a little attention to always look good and last a long time. With just a few minutes of care, you can make them look like new again. Materials such as nappa, leather, and suede require special attention to stay beautiful and functional for a long time.
When making our eco-friendly shoes, we deliberately avoid CHROMIUM and metals. To help natural leather last a long time and retain its charm, we have some simple care tips for you:
Nappa Leather
Nappa leather is soft and supple and requires a little extra care:
-
Dust off with a dry cotton cloth.
-
Rub well to give it a shine.
-
Apply a colorless cream, always using natural products.
-
Tip: Rub in with a soft sponge and a very small amount of colorless natural cream (e.g. horse grease or beeswax).
Oiled Leather
Oiled leather is often found on mountain boots or winter boots:
-
Use a brush to remove dirt.
-
Apply special greases for oiled leather, available from specialist retailers.
-
Tip: Always use horse grease 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, but this is completely normal.
Simply invest a few minutes when the 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!
