SHOE CARE GUIDE

Leather

  • We recommend spraying leather shoes and boots with a treatment like Meltonian before wearing.
  • Remove salt stains during the winter by dabbing a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Wipe clean with a water-soaked rag and air dry away from any heat source.
  • Remove scuff marks by dipping a clean cloth into water and then baking soda. Gently rub the spot. Dab clean with a water-soaked rag and buff dry.

Suede

  • We recommend spraying suede shoes and boots with a treatment like Meltonian before wearing.
  • Gently buff away stains with an eraser or emery board. Avoid water or stain solutions.

Canvas

  • While stains are hard to get rid of, greatly reduce their appearance by using a soft, clean brush to remove any excess dirt. Use a washcloth and Ivory soap to wash the shoe, then blot dry.
