Proper Care Of Footwear
Some customers think it is “cool” to have footwear that looks worn out.
Barefoot is cool too! And that is where you can end up if you fail to take care of your footwear. For best results follow all four of these steps after each event.
1) Keep wet or damp footwear away from heat or open flame. It doesn't take long to heat
the leather to the point of embrittlement. Allow leather to dry naturally and slowly.
Do not allow it to mold or mildew.
2) Before applying grease or wax clean footwear. Clean uppers with saddle
soap, following container directions. Allow footwear to dry after cleaning before
applying grease or wax. (Putting grease or wax on unclean leather will not protect
your footwear.)
3)Leather needs it' natural oils and greases replenished. Use Huberd's shoe grease after
each cleaning. Work the grease into clean, dry footwear. Allow to soak in.
4)Next, put on a good coat of Lincoln Wax and it will help provide protection and shine.
