Footwear Care How To Guide

Proper Care Of Footwear Why Spend Money On Shoe Care Products? Dirty footwear may be cool to youthful re-enactors looking to have that "hardened campaign" look but the seasoned re-enactor knows the value of clean footwear.  When dirt and barnyard acids are allowed to stay in footwear it speeds up their demise. Never put grease or oil over dirt it seals it in to damage your footwear. When kept clean footwear last longer, feels and looks better and can have new soles and heels put on them. New soles and heels are a fraction of the cost of having to completly replace mistreated footwear    For best results  follow all five of  these steps after each event.	Protect Your Investment-Care For Your Footwear
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.	Keep footwear away from heat or open flame
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.	Apply Huberd's Shoe Grease
4) Next, put on a good coat of Lincoln      Stain Wax and it will help restore      the color and provide protection      and shine.	Put on  a coat of Lincoln Stain Wax
5) Next, use your horse hair brush to smooth down waxed flesh leather  and buff to a soft shine or to put a glossy shine on smooth out leather.   After applying the wax if you spray a fine mist of water on top of the leather it will help you achieve a better shine. Don't over do the water. Using just a fine mist on top of the wax will aid in shining the leather.
