Brush your shoes to remove dirt and dust. If brushing does not remove all of the dirt, you can use a damp cloth to clean away the areas. Make sure you leave the shoes to dry naturally; you must not dry your shoes on a radiator or heater.

Once dry, spread a small amount of shoe cream or wax polish evenly over the shoes with a cotton cloth or an applicator brush. It's important to include the sole edge and welt. Leave to rest (dry) for a moment. Brush off the excess wax and keep brushing to achieve a shine.

We advise you to use wax polish for your regular shoe care to achieve maximum water repellency. Shoe cream is recommended once and a while, especially if the leather looks dry or has at all faded.

Always use shoe trees and avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row, even though they are your favourites.
