Kanika Bhatia, Chief Experience Officer, Egoss, and Ambud Sharma, Founder, Escaro RoyaleLuxury (Escaro.in), tell how to maintain your Leathershoes:
* Keep them away from direct sunlight: Leatherfades faster when exposed to sunlight. If it is kept out of direct sunlight, it will fade naturally over time. Sunlight can lead to drying and cracking. Ideal places to store LeatherFootwearare darker places with some humidity, with slight ventilation to avoid formation of mildew.
* Avoid keeping socks in shoes: Shoeswear off faster if socks are kept inside the Shoesas they leave a pungent smell leading to bad odour that transpires into the socks worn with the Shoes
* Don't store Shoesin plastic/grocery bags: LeatherShoesneed some ventilation. Air should be able to pass through Leather For this, Shoesshould never be stored in plastic or grocery bags. Use bags made of breathable fabric and pillow cases to keep the Shoes
* Do not wear the same pair daily: LeatherShoesneed time to dry up naturally as they have a tendency to soak water from your feet. Wearing the same pair everyday will not help the shoe to dry up leading to a faster wear down.
* Use shoe tree: Keeping shoe tree in the shoe would enable it to maintain its shape, reduce creases and also to soak in excess moisture and odour.
