How to care for your children's leather shoes
We know that your children's shoes are more than just footwear – they are adventures, play and small steps towards great experiences. That is why it is important to take good care of them, especially when they are made of the most beautiful chrome-free leather.
Maintaining leather shoes is simple and allows you to preserve their natural beauty and durability for a long time. Here are some simple tips to keep your children's leather shoes in top shape:
-
Clean regularly : Start by removing dirt and dust from the shoes with a soft brush or a damp cloth. This helps preserve the shine of the leather and extends the life of the shoes.
- Impregnate before use : Always remember to impregnate the shoes before putting them into use. This helps protect the leather from water and stains and extends the life of the shoes.
-
Use the right care product : Choose either leather wax or leather conditioner, preferably in natural materials. Leather wax adds a protective shine and can be used to seal the leather, while leather conditioner adds moisture and keeps the leather supple.
-
Care for the leather regularly : Apply leather wax or leather conditioner regularly to protect it from drying out and cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are exposed to rain or snow.
-
Air the shoes out : Allow the shoes to dry naturally and avoid placing them near heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight. This can cause unwanted damage to the leather.
-
Store properly : When the shoes are not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
With these simple tips, you can keep your children's chrome-free leather shoes beautiful and comfortable for a long time to come. So together, let's make sure that every step is filled with joy and adventure!
