Take care of your shoes – make them like new again!
Shoes are an important part of our style and deserve a little attention to ensure they 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 in particular require special attention to remain beautiful and functional for a long time.
We consciously avoid using CHROME and metals in the manufacture of our ecological shoes. To ensure that natural leather lasts a long time and retains its charm, we have 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 use natural products.
-
Tip: Rub in with a soft sponge and a very small amount of colorless natural cream (e.g. horse fat or beeswax).
Oiled leather
Oiled leather is often found in 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 fat or natural waxes.
When caring for our ecological leather products, it is important to avoid chemical products. Chemicals could impair the good properties of the 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 if the shoes no longer look their best and they will shine like they did on the first day.
With these simple tips, you can ensure that your shoes not only look good, but also last longer. You can find suitable shoe care products for your Martin Natur shoes in our shop.
