CARING FOR YOUR VINTAGE SHOES
Here are some tips to ensure the life of your shoes.
- Older leather, especially in the case of previously unworn shoes, should be broken in with care. To keep leather soft and pliable,
regularly apply a leather lotion to your shoes. You will find a lotion at most shoe repair shops.
- If your shoe needs to be stretched, we suggest purchasing a pair of shoe trees along with a leather lotion.
- Due to lengthy storage in a dry environment, the deterioration of old adhesives will will occasionally result in the seperation of
the sole from the upper shoe. In such a case, a shoe doctor can apply new adhesive.
