Care for your shoe
Retrospecting on the journeys your shoes bring you; there should be enough reasons to gratify care for them. Care of leather shoes is not just about making your shoes look good, it makes you look good too, which gives good reason enough to take care of them. It’s also about preserving and adding to the life of your leather shoes.

Whether you spend a lot on your shoes, or don’t have much to spend, taking care of your leather shoes makes sense. Without appropriate conditioning and care, leather can dry out until it eventually crack and falls apart, and you'll no longer want to wear them out of the house - even if they did cost a small fortune.

While some people are contented to throw on a coat of shoe polish when their shoes start to look shabby, to really protect your leather shoes and keep them looking their best, there are four steps to follow:

• Clean
• Condition
• Polish
• Preserve or weatherproof

Do note that there are distinctions between caring for smooth leather shoes and caring for suede, exotic skins, nubuck, or athletic shoes.
