Care Tips

Cobbler's Corner Recommends...

Proper care can dramatically increase the life of your footwear and leather goods. Here are a few tips to keep your shoes, leather handbags, and jackets looking good and extend their use.

How To Care For Fine Quality Shoes...

Storage
Allow your footwear to dry out naturally in a dry closet, away from direct heat. To avoid hardening the leather, do not force dry your shoes. Use shoe trees to keep the leather from cracking and creasing permanently where the foot flexes. Pure cedar trees are the best for their appealing fragrance and ability to absorb moisture.

Cleaning & Polishing
On dry shoes, use a horsehair bristle brush to remove any dust or dirt. Apply a high-quality leather cream or paste polish (do not use liquid polishes) in a matching color and allow to dry. Brush shoes again to desired luster with horsehair brush. Avoid using saddle soap or mink oil on these fine leathers.

Clean sueded leathers with a damp, soft cloth. When dry, buff lightly with a clean, bristle brush or nubuck brush to restore the nap. Scuff marks and dirt may be gently removed with a suede-cleaning eraser or pumice bar.
