Caring For Your Shoes

It sounds obvious, but the fact is our shoes are designed to be worn.

 

Polyurethane is ideal for soles; it's light, flexible, slip resistant and wears well but doesn't like being shut away in a box. So wear them and enjoy! Just like your skin, leather needs nourishment to keep it supple. Every time you wear your shoes they gather dust and dirt, which prevents them from looking their best and reduces their life.

 

ARE YOUR SHOES:

SLIGHTLY DIRTY

Clean with a soft cloth or by lightly brushing. Use cream to polish but never use polish or cream to remove dirt as the grit may damage the leather surface. For leather, clean & condition with ZIERA LEATHER CONDITIONER AND PATENT CLEANER. There are ZIERA polishes to match key colours each season, including metallics. Use polish or cream sparingly. Excessive application of polish or cream may build up and change the shade of some leathers.

 

VERY DIRTY OR MUDDY

Allow the dirt to dry then remove. Sponge down with a small amount of water and wipe with a dry cloth. For leather shoe care, clean & condition with ZIERA LEATHER CONDITIONER AND PATENT CLEANER. There are ZIERA polishes to match this season's colours, including metallics. Use polish or cream sparingly. Excessive application of polish or cream may build up and change the shade of some leathers.

 

WET SHOES

Never dry your leather shoes with any form of heat - not even in the hot water cupboard. Stuff your shoes with newspaper to absorb the moisture from the inside and stand your shoes where the air can circulate freely.
