Conscious Storage

It is essential to choose the right place to store your shoes. Do not place them in damp areas, as they might develop fungus or mould on them. They must be stored in a dust bag with proper stuffing to retain their shape, and silicone must be used to avoid moisture build-up.

Fungus Confiscation

One of the biggest and most serious issues that we face is the development of moulds or fungi on our leather pairs. This could induce fear and drive our love for leather away. Whenever you find fungus growing on your precious ones, all you need to do is take a brush and gently scrape off the fungus from your footwear and apply some shoe cream to the pair. Let the pair sit and air-dry, and Voila! You’ve got yourself a brand new shoe all over again.

Drenched Shoes

It is not uncommon to get your footwear wet during the monsoon, but getting it completely soaked is a big “no-no”. And if they do, do not place them under direct sunlight. Instead, put them upside down and let them dry naturally. Air-drying is best as a hairdryer can crack or discolour your product. You can also store them with silicon packets instead, to absorb moisture.

Additionally, leather requires time to dry and recover from wear, as the footwear becomes damp from sweat. Hence, it is recommended to avoid using your leather beauties on consecutive days.

Maintenance of the shoes

There is always more that can be done to maintain the sheen and lustre, structure, and performance of your shoe. A quality cream or wax polish can be applied to the shoe after every wear to avoid cracking or creasing of the leather. Shoe extensions must be avoided. On the contrary, shoe-horns must be used as they help in maintaining the structure of the shoes.

Following these steps should get your footwear through the season gracefully.
