I got in water with my shoes, what should I do?
It's raining, your shoes are wet, what to do?
- Put your shoes under shoe trees to let them dry gently
- Never put them near a heat source, even if you are in a hurry, it will damage the leather irreparably
-
If your shoes are suede leather
- Brush them with a brass brush to straighten the hair, brush from the bottom to the top gently.
- Spray a waterproofing over the entire surface of the shoe, don't be too close, 30 cm is perfect.
-
If you have smooth leather shoes
- Start re-hydrating the shoe with a universal cream,
- Then apply the cream pommadier at the right colour and apply making small circles. Don't forget the stitching and edge. Leave to dry. List with an oval brush
- You can apply shoe polish paste on the toe cap or heel for more shine and highlight.
-
Choose the right pair of shoes
- If you know it is going to rain, choose rubber sole, this will insulate you from humidity.
- Crockett & Jones proposes City sole stylee for example or Dainite sole
- Should you went out with leather sole shoes, hydrate and protect the sole by using Sole guard
- If you know it is going to rain, choose rubber sole, this will insulate you from humidity.
And above all... don't forget your umbrella 😉
