Top tips for the care of your shoes

Shoe care goes far beyond the ritual itself. A pair of perfect shoes says a lot about you and your personality. A pair of immaculate, bespoke men’s shoes of the highest quality is capable of giving a powerful touch of elegance to any outfit.

The perfect shoe care and cleaning kit

To make sure that we are looking after our bespoke men’s shoes in the best possible, the perfect shoe cleaning kit should have the following elements:

•  Horsehair Shine Brush

•  Horsehair Polish Applicator

•  Polishing Cotton / Shine Cloth

•  Shoe protector spray

•  Wax based shoe polish cream

Basic concepts on shoe care:

      ·  Before we begin our shoe cleaning ritual, it is worth commenting that a small horsehair brush will help us to achieve a uniform distribution of the Shoe polish near me on our pair of handmade bespoke men’s shoes.

      ·  Regarding the shoe polish, we recommend you to have at least one shoe polish tin for each colour of shoes in your collection.

      ·  Beyond being an unnecessary extravagance, this is the only way in which we preserve the original colour of our bespoke shoes and we avoid superimposing a different colour to the original one, distorting its appearance.

Polish and shine the shoe

Leather is a delicate material that needs proper care to resist time. Hydrate them with a special Shoe stretch spray, it can be beeswax. This will help you give the shoe more flexibility.

After moisturizing, use bitumen to give colour and shine. Spray the cream with a few drops of water and take a small amount with a dry cloth. Apply Barge all purpose cement on the shoe with circular movements, making sure to cover the entire surface.

It is important that you do not exceed the amount of bitumen you use. Start with a little and if you need more you take a little with the cloth. Remember to also cover the sole and heel areas of the shoes.
