CARE OF CALF LEATHER SHOES

  • Fill out the shoe with shoe trees or paper. Apply a small amount of a cleansing cream over the entire shoe, we recommend Creme Renovateur from Saphir.

  • Wipe the shoe with a cloth, you will see that the excess cream follow along with the dirt.

  • To give your shoes the best possible care after cleaning, we recommend that you treat them with a caring shoe cream. For this purpose, we suggest the product Creme Pommadier 1925 from Saphir, a product that both impregnates the shoes and gives them a new shine.

  • Keep in mind that there is a relatively high amount of color pigment in the product Creme Pommadier 1925, so in order not to lose the original color of the shoe, you should not use too much of the product. As a rule for all shoe care, it is always better to use too little, than too much. There are also non-pigmented shoe creams, but you should be careful with these, as they can give the shoe a not-too-charming greyish coating with repeated use.
