Having great fashion sense is a quality for sure, but keeping your leather shoes clean and preserved is another good talent.

You may have a dozen of leather shoes and boots in your wardrobe, but you must have special qualities and tricks to clean those, which is also a much-needed matter.

Here are 6 important ways to preserve your leather shoes:

Always use a micro-fibre cloth

You must use a micro-fibre or a soft cotton cloth to remove normal dust from leather shoes for men. The micro-fibre cloth is made of soft fabric, which is not prone to scratching the surface of your leather shoes.

Use leather cleaner

Usually, leather cleaners are available with a brush on top and can be used after applying cleaner onto the shoes. You need to scrub the shoe gently with the liquid cleaner and the brush attached to it. If your leather cleaner has not a brush or scrubber, then you can use a separate brush to scrub the shoe gently to clean it properly.

Apply vinegar and water

If salt stains or rough scratches is your problem on your favourite leather shoes for men, then the combination of vinegar and water can help you get the same shine and details on your leather shoes. The combination also helps to remove existing wax polish on your shoes.

Do not wear the same shoe regularly

If you keep wearing the same shoes constantly, then your shoe leather may get a problem of breathing, resulting in bad leather quality. Keep at least 2-3 pairs of leather shoes in your drawer if you are going daily to your office or attending meetings every day.

Give them a basic clean every time

Every time that you are wearing your oxford shoes, you need to wipe them or brush them gently for a few seconds. It will help you to keep your shoes clean and preserve them for a longer time. Additionally, you will not need to clean them entirely or thoroughly, if you wipe or clean them mildly every time.

Avoid rainy season

If you are wearing your leather shoes in monsoons, even it is drizzling, your shoes may start losing shine, colour, and soul. You must avoid monsoons to go outside with leather shoes to keep intact their shine and beauty.
