MAINTENANCE

PIn order to maintain unaltered the quality of the shoe, we suggest to treat it only with natural products, following these "Golden Rules":

• For the shoes with leather sole, it is of fundamental importance to not wear the first time when it rains.
  A leather sole needs a some time run-in before facing the water, otherwise it will absorb and distend - a soaking wet leather sole will be less resistant and not long-lasting.

• It would be better to not wear the same pair of shoes for two consecutive days - shoes should rest at least 24 hours before wearing again.

• To enter in the shoe, use always a shoe-horn - without this, it is possible to use a handkerchief,
  you can set it against the back of the shoe, so that the foot can slip in the shoe.

• Once removed, put the shoe tree, possibly of wood, in order to correct the eventual wrinkles and o maintain
  the original form of the shoe.

• If the shoes are completely wet owing to rain or snow, put immediately the shoe tree and lay them down laterally,
  far from any heat source.

• In case a pair of shoes is not used for long period, spread a thin coat of natural wax - put them inside a fabric bag
  and store inside a cardboard box.

• To make an efficient maintenance, it is necessary to have at disposal a set of selected products,
  according to the colour of the shoe - a good starting point is our Polish Kit.

Utilization of the products included in the Polish Kit

• First of all, dust well the shoe to take off every residue of dirtiness.

• Once the shoe is clean, apply the natural Saphir wax by the small brush, then spread it uniform by the big brush,
  choosing the colour of the wax according to the colour of the shoe.

• Wait until the wax is completely dry, about 10 minutes, then pass the wool cloth in order to obtain The requested brilliance.
