Care for your footwear: how to protect your winter shoes

Winter can be a tough season for your shoes, especially high-quality ones. Rain, mud, and temperature changes can cause long-term damage, especially to shoes made from high-quality materials like leather. In this article, we'll provide a practical guide on how to protect your winter shoes, focusing specifically on the maintenance of leather shoes and the care of Made in Italy shoes by Quellilà.

1. Protect your shoes from the rain

Moisture is one of the main enemies of winter shoes. Here are some tips to keep your footwear protected:

• Use a waterproofing spray: Apply a specific product to create a protective barrier against water and snow. For Quellilà leather shoes, choose a waterproofing product that doesn't compromise the material's breathability.

• Dry wet shoes properly: If your shoes get wet, pat them dry with a dry cloth and let them dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, which can dry out and crack the leather.

2. Leather shoe maintenance: the basic steps

Quellilà leather shoes require special care to maintain their appearance and durability. Follow these steps:

• Clean your shoes regularly: Use a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner.

• Apply a nourishing cream: Once clean, apply a leather cream or balm. This product moisturizes the material, preventing cracking and loss of shine.

• Polish your shoes: Use a soft brush or cloth to polish your shoes after applying the cream. This will help restore the leather's natural shine. CHELSEA BLACK BUFFALO

3. Storing shoes during the winter

Proper shoe storage is essential to keep your shoes in perfect condition. Here's how:

• Use shoe trees: Shoe trees help maintain the original shape of shoes, preventing creases and deformations.

• Store your shoes in a dry place : Avoid humid environments that can encourage mold growth. Use cotton bags to protect them from dust.

• Rotate your shoes: Alternate the use of your shoes to avoid excessive wear and tear on a single pair.
