Daily care tips
When the shoes are not worn, the shoes should be cleaned with leather cleaner and shoe polish. Then put the paper or shoe last to fix the shoe shape, then put it into the shoe bag and put it in the dry place.
If you find that the shoes are mildewed, first wipe them with a soft dry cloth and then wipe them with a special light degreaser for leather.
★ Leather shoes need to "rest"
The favorite shoes should not be worn every day, because the shoes also need enough "rest".
It is best to have a few pairs of shoes to wear, so that the shoes have a certain interval of rest time, wearing the same pair of shoes every day will cause sweat to be volatile so that bacteria and dirt grow.
★ leather shoes should be breathable
If the shoes are in the air-conditioned room, put the shoes in the shoe box. Otherwise, the long-term storage of leather shoes in the shoe box lacks air circulation, and it is easy to grow mold.
Good Luck ;)
