How to Clean Leather Shoes


1.        Find out whether the leather is finished or unfinished
You should look on the shoe tag or on the shoe box. Untreated leather requires different cleansers than treated leather. SCHUHSTER’s leather shoes are treated.

2.        Remove caked on dirt or stains with a soft brush
Rub the brush against the surface of the shoes until it loosens.


3.        Rub a clean, dry cloth against the entire surface of the leather shoes

4.        Dampen the cloth lightly
Wipe it against the surface of the shoes with the grain of the leather. Only do this with finished leather.
  • Treat unfinished leather with saddle soap. It is available in most shoe and tack stores. Dampen a cloth; rub some saddle soap onto it and rub together to get a lather. Apply the lather to the shoes, while rubbing gently. Wipe away the lather. Let the shoes dry completely inside. 


5.        Allow the leather to dry completely, by placing it in open air inside
Do not place the shoes near a heater or in the sunlight. Both can cause cracking and discolouration.

6.      Treat the leather
·   Apply cream polish in the same colour as the shoes, if you are cleaning finished leather. Leather polish is available in most shoe stores. Apply the cream polish with a soft cloth. Let it sit for a few minutes, then buff to a shine with a clean soft cloth or soft brush. Add a drop of water to the soft cloth to bring to a shine.

·     Apply an oil like mink oil to unfinished leather. This helps preserve the leather. Apply with a clean cloth. Buff with a clean soft cloth.


7.       Store leather shoes outside of the box
Give them a day's rest in between wearing them to allow them to air out. With these steps, they will last longer.

8.       COVER with a Cloth or a Shoe Bag


A shoe bag or cloth cover will prevent any accumulation of dust or dirt, which can cause drying, ensuring that your shoes are dust-free the next time you wear them. A cloth or cotton shoe bag is particularly essential for those special-occasion pairs in your closet that may get less attention and wear than those that are worn on a near-daily basis.

How to Clean Suede Shoes


1.        Buy a suede brush at a shoe store
These specialized brushes have a small wire implement and bristle that helps keep suede's natural nap.

2.      Use a rubber pencil eraser to remove scuffs and smudges on the surface of the suede

3.        Brush the shoes all over with a suede brush
Brush in 1 direction

4.        Remove stains on the shoes
·       If your suede shoes have got wet, remove excess liquid with a paper towel. Then, allow them to dry naturally. Brush the shoes with a suede brush after they have dried.
·        If your suede shoes have grease spots, apply talcum powder to the stain. Rub it deep into the stain. Then, allow it a few hours to dry. Brush with a suede brush to remove the grease.

5.      Apply a silicone based spray to weatherproof suede shoes
·       This should be done immediately after they are purchased, and again each year. Waterproofing leather shoes is one of the easiest ways to extend the life of your shoes while preserving their quality and value.
·         To apply sprays, hold the can 6 inches from your shoes and spray an even coat over them. Allow them to dry completely.

6.        Store suede shoes in the open air
You may want to use a shoe tree. Give them time to air out in between wearing them.

Shoetrees are essential to the long-term maintenance of well-crafted shoes. Their purpose is to stretch the shoe flat after each wearing in order to prevent the natural bowing that occurs as a result of wear. This helps minimize wrinkles across the vamp and maintain the shape of the shoe. In addition, cedar shoetrees help wick away moisture and combat odor.

Every style-savvy man dreams of a pair of shoes he can wear everywhere, with everything. Let’s face it, when it comes to dressing ourselves, we want it to be easy and effortless. The ultimate dream would be a pair of shoes we could wear with anything from business suits to track pants. The inconvenient truth? There’s no such thing as a pair of shoes you can wear everywhere, all the time. We’ve searched high and low, and trust us, they just don’t exist. We have found, however, the [almost] always appropriate shoe … The Brown Shoes.


The Brown Shoes, the versatility of these beauties is made up several key features: their rich colour (a dark brown beats out black when it comes to versatility any day), their simple design (sleek, yet durable and best of all: tall enough to fit your needs), and their soft vintage appearance can transform from hide to hide and with daily use. Consider them the skeleton key to your closet and treat them with the utmost care.

SCHUHSTER offers instant height to your appearance.
