Brush your shoes to remove dirt and dust. (You should have a brush specifically for this job; don't use your horsehair polishing brush.)

If brushing your shoes doesn't remove all the dirt, you can use a damp cloth (don't use soap or solvent-based fluids) to clean the areas. Be sure to let the shoes dry naturally; You should not dry your shoes on a radiator or heater.

For very stubborn stains, you can use a light mixture of detergent and water

Before applying the polish, we recommend using a moisturizing renewing cream called Renovateur. This non-greasy, beeswax-based cream gently cleans the surface by removing unwanted wax, while nourishing the natural leather underneath to help protect it from potential cracks in the future, thus prolonging the life of your shoes. Apply with a cotton cloth or brush (clean, without wax) all over the shoe. Don't put too much product on the shoes, as you should be able to work small amounts into one area. Let dry before polishing with a brush.

Once dry, apply a small amount of shoe cream or polishing wax evenly to the shoes with a cotton cloth or applicator brush and let it sit (dry) for a moment. We advise you to use shoe cream for more regular care. Shoe cream is also recommended if the leather appears dry or has lost color. Typically, the time it takes to cover the other shoe is an appropriate amount of time. This process can be repeated several times depending on the condition of the shoes. Each time, a little more polishing wax will be left on the smooth leather. It is important to do it in stages if you want to repeat. Don't cover your shoes with too much product at once.

Using wooden shoe trees will help absorb moisture and maintain the shape of your shoes while they dry. Using a shoehorn prevents damage to the heels, counter, and top edge of the shoe.

During the manufacturing process, we stain ink and apply wax to the edges of the soles to increase water resistance. As you can imagine, the soles suffer the most during use, as they regularly come into contact with hard surfaces. At home, you can use a hard wax crayon to apply a similar colored wax to the edges where raw fibers of the leather trim or sole are visible, or where the factory wax has been damaged by use.

Take off your shoes either before entering or immediately after entering your home. Wearing gloves, clean the edges and soles with alcohol or a disinfectant pad. Let them dry completely. Once dry, apply a coat of clear polish and leather moisturizer to the soles to help protect them from drying and cracking.
