Always Choose Your Professional Shoe Care Products With Care

By Marjorie Richards


Everyone should take care of their feet as without them one will be unable to walk. Good foot care is to always check for blisters, cuts as well as ingrown toenails. Whenever one is sitting down it is a good idea to lift the feet up as it helps with the circulation, taking warm foot baths is also a great way to relax. People will and should always look after their feet so why not do the same with the shoes. With professional shoe care products one is able to pamper the shoes just like ones feet ensuring that will last for many years to come.

Shoes are worn on the feet and they are intended to protect and keep the feet comfortable while one is doing numerous actions. They are become more of a decoration and over time they have begun to vary from one culture to another. Fashion has dictated which design is needed whether they be flat heeled, high heeled or open toed.

The Orange cleaner is a natural vegetable based formula and is used on all textiles and leather. It has an active agent and because it is combined with oil from oranges it will easily remove all stains and marks. The bottle is biodegradable and comes in seventy five millilitres. One just needs to gently apply a circular motion with a soaked sponge and leave for a few minutes. Then rub with a damp towel and leave to dry.

For those scuff marks one can either use a rubber cleaning stone, crepe rubber and even an emery board. In order to lift the nap into its original position one should use a nylon brush. If the nap is worn use a middle wire bristle before using the nylon one. One can then safely remove the newspaper and store them as normal. It is best to wrap them up in tissue paper and keep in a footwear box so as to eliminate any dust particles from accumulating on the shoe.

There were over fifteen different techniques that were used for making shoes, pegged, welted, goyser welted, stitch down, blake stitch as well as turnout and German sewn to name a few. The most worn and basic protection was the sandal and it had a protective sole that was attached to the foot with leather thongs. Others were made from plaited palm fronds or grass.

Their Takkie Polish will restore any white or black to its original color and is used on any canvas shoe. It will keep them looking fresh and clean. Their Liquid Polish will renew the color and will leave a lasting shine. One just needs to buff when the application has dried to leave a bright shine.

The most commonly worn men's shoe of today is the derby shoe and has shoelaces that are sewn at the top of the vamp. The easiest way to care for them is to use a shoe brush to dislodge any dirt from between the stitching. They can then be washed in a mild mixture of soap and water and then once dry apply saddle soap with a soft cloth to clean both inside and outside.

Another product is Leather Balsam as it is very gentle on all leather makes. It gives it a brilliant shine as well as moisturizes and conditions at the same time. This product can be applied with a soft clean towel or cloth and left to dry. Then polish to reveal the high shine.
