Winter shoes are not winter proof. To keep them in a good condition, it's important to care for them. Natural leather is "living", it's surface absorbs water and dirt. Don't expose your leather shoes to danger of destroying by negligence.

It's crucial to clean your shoes regularly. It's best to wipe the leather surface with moist cloth.

Wet shoes should be left to dry out, however the temperature cannot exceed 40 degrees Celsius. Don't use hairdryer and avoid putting your shoes on, or under the radiator.

Leather shoes also require polishing. Before you apply the paste, you need to clean and dry your shoes. Don't economize on the shoe polish.

There are lots of products I can recommend. I wouldn't definitely buy those with gloss and those with sponges. In my opinion, those tinned, to be applied with brush, are best.

I'd also advice waiting before starting polishing for 10 minutes after applying.

It's possible to buy quality, professional products which increase the vitality of the natural leather shoes.
