What do you do with old leather shoes? Throw them away or take them away? But you probably will not throw it away when you have so many memories with them over the years, don't you? Do not worry, I will help those leather shoes stay with you longer.

When leather shoes become worn out and wrinkled, the most common way that western shoe wearers use to renew their shoes is to use a shoe polish. But do you know that high-end men's shoes that are often worn are still badly degraded by polishing them? So, how to handle this problem?

Remove old shoe polish for your men's leather shoes

Before you can polish a pair of shoes, you must remove the dry polish on the shoe's surface to begin with a new cleaning. To save time, you can use a special solution to wash your nail, soak it in a clean cloth and easily remove the old one. Before that, remember to clean the dust and soil on your shoes with a horse bristle brush, then remove the shoelace. In addition to nail polish remover you can also use alcohol or specialized leather cleaner. The only thing to keep in mind is to avoid scratching or rubbing the leather of the shoe if you clean it too hard.

Leather care for your men's leather shoes

The next thing you need to do is to recover the dry leather of the shoe. You can do this with a variety of specialized cleansers such as skin soaps, tonic lotion or other leather lotions. At this stage the leather will be softened to allow better absorption of the polish, as well as removing any remaining dirt. To get deep into the leather, brush them on the shoe with two fingers rolled by a small piece of cotton fabric. This is also a method you can use to polish but remember to use a different cloth so that the substance does not mix.

After using leather care, the shoe will be dried for at least 20 minutes. At each step of the shoe polish process, the shoe will need to be dried at least 20 minutes to allow the leather to rest and the substance also has time to show effect.

Retake the old leather shoes with cream

The next step is to use the brush to polish the shoes. Cream polish restores leather color and use the brush to put cream into the slot. Note do not spread the large amount of cream on the shoes, please dot by dot and put evenly on the shoe surface.

Polish the shoes

When polishing, use two fingers wrapped in cotton to rub in the circle. Press the hand gently to create a little force to help the cream get into the hole in the leather.

Polish 1-2 layers of cream first and dry shoes for 20 minutes. During this time, prepare a box of water and a box of dried shoe polish box. If the leather still can not be shiny, use dry polish because new polish layer is still wet, sometimes the leather does not reach enough dry. After the first layer of cream is dry, add water to polish to continue polishing. After dipping a small drop of water onto the shoe, hit the cream immediately in a circle. Repeat this step for 1 to 2 hours on the shoes, leave the shoes dry overnight and polish the shoe one last time on other shoe with very little cream and water.

The process of reviving old men's shoes into new shoes requires patience, meticulousness and the investment. But if it's worth that you can keep up with your beloved leather shoes. One thing to note is that in order for a shoe to be made into a new shoe, be sure that your shoe is made of genuine leather, since fake leather can not be as effective as genuine leather. You are probably too familiar with some reputable high-end leather shoe shops, but I still want to suggest you a 100% genuine leather shoes supplier that I trust - Banuli - 215 Quang Trung, Ward 1, Go Vap hoặc số 465 Huynh Van Banh, Ward 13, Phu Nhuan, TPHCM ( 0969 676 967).
