To keep your shoes looking fresh and let them age gracefully, it's good to maintain them every once in a while
Cleaning Tools and Materials
Before you begin, gather these essentials:
- Soft-bristled brush
- Clean, dry cloth
- pH-balanced leather cleaner
- Leather conditioner
- Water and bowl (for suede uppers)
- Suede eraser and brush (for suede uppers)
Note: Ensure the leather cleaner and conditioner match your shoe's leather type.
Why Clean Leather Uppers?
Leather is a natural material, and every once in a while it's good to clean and maintain it. The leather uppers are defining features in Astorflex shoes, imparting elegance and durability.
Regular cleaning and conditioning prevents dirt, dust, and stains from dulling the appearance and extends the lifespan.
Step-by-Step Leather Cleaning
- Brush off dirt and dust with a soft-bristled brush.
- Dampen a cloth with water, apply a small amount of leather cleaner, and gently rub onto the uppers.
- Wipe off cleaner with a damp cloth.
- Air dry the shoes.
- Apply leather conditioner in circular motions to restore natural oils and prevent drying and cracking.
- Allow shoes to sit for a few minutes, then wipe off excess conditioner.
- Air dry shoes completely before wearing.
Tips for Suede Uppers
Suede uppers require a different cleaning approach than leather uppers.
- Use a suede eraser to remove stains, rubbing gently in circular motions.
- Restore nap with a suede brush, brushing in one direction.
- For stubborn stains, mix equal parts water and white vinegar, apply with a soft-bristled brush, blot with a clean cloth, and air dry.
Refreshing the look with New Laces
Replace laces for a fresh look. Choose colors or materials to match your style. You can find options on the Glocal Style website or in your favorite local stores.
