To take care of your handmade shoes, always use the highest quality products. The leather of a handmade shoe is very delicate and does not need polishes that cover the folds, but creams that nourish it and slow down the aging process. Use a polish of the closest color to your shoe so as not to alter the color. To clean shoes, use natural bristle brushes and brushes, soft and preferably with high bristles. A well-polished handmade shoe must appear shiny and transparent.
