Summer Leather Shoe Care: Protecting Your Investment in Warmer Months

Heat, humidity, and summer activities can challenge your finest footwear. Here’s how to keep your leather looking its best:

1. Regular Cleaning

• Brush off dust: After each wear, use a soft horsehair brush to remove dirt.

• Wipe with damp cloth: For stubborn spots, a slightly moistened cloth will do the trick—never soak the leather.

2. Conditioning & Protection

• Leather conditioner: Apply a thin layer of our premium leather care balm every 4–6 weeks to replenish natural oils.

• Water‑repellent spray: Shield against summer showers—opt for a breathable, silicone‑free formula.

3. Avoid Over‑Exposure

• Rotating pairs: Don’t wear the same pair two days in a row; let them air out and maintain shape.

• Shade over sun: Direct sunlight can dry out and fade leather—store shoes in a cool, ventilated space.

4. Quick Fixes

• Shoe trees: Cedar shoe trees absorb moisture and preserve form—ideal after a long day.

• Edge dressing: Touch up scuffed soles and midsoles with matching edge paint for a polished finish.
