Leather High-heel Shoes Personal Maintenance Guide
Leather high heels shoes are the noblest ones in the family of woman’s
Fashion shoes
. However, they are easily to be worn out quickly just due to their very nature of daily pounding. That is why it is even more crucial to maintain and care for your favorite leather high heels shoes even more than any other item in your wardrobe. Unless money is not an issue for you, you’d better see my experiences below that can help you prolong the useful life of your quality shoes. Don’t worry; it doesn’t take a huge amount of time, effort, or money to do the maintenance. In fact, they are basic repair and cleaning routines that can be handled at home.
The most commonly seen problem of leather products is that they might easily crack due to various factors. Although you can find many anti-crack leather high heels shoes on the online inventories of high shoes wholesalers like bigshoebazaar, milanoo and tradekey, you should know that their anti-crack capacity is limited. If there are some tiny cracks on your shoes, you should use shoe oil to polish them as follows:
At first, wipe off the dust on the surface of leather high heels shoes with clean cotton cloth. Next, drip 1-2 drop vinegar into the shoe oil to enhance polishing effect. One thing to note: if your shoes have burnished leather (Just like the one shown in the picture below), they can be only polished with special purpose oil, otherwise your shoes will suffer disaster. Then, distribute moderate shoe oil evenly over the leather surface with shoe brush. One hour after polishing, you should always be sure to remove the excess with a non-abrasive cloth. Just the mere act of polishing can make your neglected leather high heels shoes look almost new again, but if you keep them polished in the first place they will be more likely to never look bad to begin with.
Now that your favorite leather high heels shoes have recover its brilliance, don’t forget to do some required maintenance to avoid such problems occur again. After use, cleaning the dirt off the leather surface gently with a soft brush. If they are wet, dry them off and stuff them with dry newspaper to help absorb any moisture and help them keep their shape while they are drying. You’d better clean your leather high heel shoes every 2-3 days to keep them always in good condition.
Up to now, nothing is difficult, right? Now let me introduce some maintenance tips that take a little bit more effort or assistance from a professional. If you have a pair of high quality leather shoes that the heels are becoming worn on you can have the heels replaced with rubber heel caps that will not only last longer than the original ones but also be more comfortable to walk on. Moreover, as we all known, leather soles also wear out quickly. If possible, replacing them with high quality rubber soles such as Vibram will not only help to prolong the life of your shoes, but also make them less slippery.
Of course, if you do want to give your favorite pair of leather high heel shoes ultimate protection and prolong its life as long as possible, maybe replacing the leather sole with a rubber one is your best choice. Although leather does allow room for your feet to breathe and has good affinity for your feet, its slippery feature is an obvious drawback. On the contrary, rubber sole would provide more traction for your feet and prevent slipping and falling.
