HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LEATHER SHOES
Atelier Content’s shoes are designed to last for years. In fact, because they are fashioned entirely from high-quality Italian leather, they become softer, suppler and more beautiful over time. But leather is a natural material that occasionally needs a little tender loving care. This is what you can do to enjoy your shoes for even longer.
KEEP IT DRY
Being caught in a shower from time to time is not a problem — we are a Belgian brand, after all. If your shoes are wet, simply dry them thoroughly before wearing them again. Do this with the soles facing upwards and as far away from a direct heat source as possible. Nevertheless it’s best to avoid your shoes becoming continuously or thoroughly wet. Water can damage the leather and the soles and hasten the ageing process of your shoes.
WITH HEART AND SOLE
Every foot is different, and you’ll gradually notice this on the soles of your shoes. If they wear unevenly, it’s advisable to have the shoes periodically re-soled. This is not only good for your shoes, but also for your feet, ankles and back. If your soles come loose at the top of the shoe, it’s also time for new ones. This can happen if your shoes frequently get wet, for example.
EXTRA SHINE
Just as your own skin needs moisturising, your leather shoes will also benefit from a little nourishment from time to time. By regularly treating your shoes with a good quality shoe polish, you will keep the leather soft, supple and shiny.
