SHOE CARE
THE SHOE TREE
The shoe tree allows the shoe to maintain its initial axis and to avoid creases on the upper. It is indispensable in order not to lose the original shape of the shoe. Our team recommends the use of cedar shoe trees, avoiding the varnished ones that do not allow the wood to breathe and allow moisture to stagnate inside the shoe.
SHOE CARE
THE GLOSS
The real quality polish is made of beeswax. Its function is to soften, waterproof and make the leather shine. It can also be used every day.
SHOE CARE
THE CREAM
The cream should not be confused with the polish since it has a totally different function and acts as a cleaning product. It also contains pigments richer in dyes than the polish. Its components are: lanolin (emulsion of water and milk) and turpentine. The cream enhances the color of the shoe, so it should be used occasionally when it becomes opaque, with a frequency of about every three weeks.
SHOE CARE
The reviver
The reviver is a product similar to the cream but also contains mink oil. It can be applied on rustic shoes to make the leather absorb more of the cream's grease. For suede shoes we recommend using a specific reviver.
SHOE CARE
How to dry the soles
The best way to dry the soles is to place them on the side, allowing them to breathe. Wet shoes should never be exposed to unnatural heat sources. Change your shoes every day so that the shoes can dry well. If the shoes are not given time to dry, the leather becomes soft, doesn't resist to abrasion and loses its tightness.
