The heat leaves us, the days are getting shorter and summer becomes a memory, the arrival of the cold is approaching and we have to change the wardrobe of the season. Sandals are exchanged for boots and boots and it is important that we take care of our summer shoes properly to keep them intact until the good weather arrives. In Martin Natur we offer you some simple tips to make your leather shoe last a long time.
With the change of seasons, we tend to store everything in boxes that, if not perfectly sealed, collect dust and moisture and spoil everything inside. To avoid this, store your shoes in a cotton bag with the appropriate lasts to maintain their shape. Try to keep it in a dark, air-conditioned place, such as a closet. Avoid very cold or hot places, such as attics or garages, otherwise your shoes will deteriorate. Also, it is important that you do not stack your shoes on top of each other, otherwise they will become deformed after a few months.
Clean your shoes before taking them off. With leather shoes, it is important to remove dust and dirt before putting them in boxes. Use a soft brush that won't scratch the material and even add a little grease to the shoe in question if necessary. This will ensure that your accessory is in perfect condition when you take it out again.
Although it may sound obvious, it is important that our shoes are completely dry when we store them. Keeping your shoes wet can cause them to deform and absorb bad odors. In the same way, and to avoid odors and leather wear, you should not use plastic bags. One of the most important requirements for intact leather shoes is breathing. Follow these simple tips and extend the life of your shoes.
