What to look for
Question
In brief
Why
Clean or reproof?
In briefClean first
WhyTreatment spreads unevenly over dirt. Follow the bottle's instructions for use on wet or dry footwear.
Which colour?
In briefNeutral or matching
WhyColoured cream can change pale stitching and fabric panels. Try it in a hidden area first.
How should shoes dry?
In briefNaturally in the air
WhyRemove the footbeds and keep footwear away from radiators. Strong direct heat can damage leather and glued joins.
Common questions
Do membrane shoes need leather care?
Yes, if the outer is leather. The membrane sits underneath, while the leather still faces dirt, moisture and repeated flexing. Choose care recommended by the footwear manufacturer for that particular construction.
Can wax change the appearance?
Wax can darken leather and smooth the nap on suede. To retain the original finish, use a product designed for that material and try it on a hidden area first. Colourless treatment can still alter the appearance.
When should I reproof footwear?
Clean it when dirt interferes with water beading. If the clean outer still absorbs water quickly, renew the suitable proofing treatment as instructed. Conditioning leather and adding water repellency may be separate steps.
What should I use on muddy soles?
Loosen heavy dirt with an appropriate brush and water without soaking the upper unnecessarily. Use a suitable cleaner on leather or fabric. Leave the footwear open to air dry before putting it away.
