Most do not know that during a normal day our feet produce over ¼ cup of moisture and up to ½ cup of moisture when we are in motion. Also few know that we can use shoetrees to prolong the life of our leather shoes of up to three times longer than a regular !!
the reasons for this are simple: the wooden shoetrees and cedar pull more moisture from shoes, we restore the physical structure of the shoe so to prevent wrinkles and cracks in the skin of the shoe.
The aromatic Shoetrees, as cedar, have three main functions: Using daily such Shoetrees retains the original shape of the shoe and prevent cracking on leather shoe. The Shoetrees are designed to fit properly and easily to nearly all shoe styles on the market. Our feet sweat producing enough moisture each day. If this moisture is left unchecked, tends to be absorbed permanently by the shoe, thus reducing their lifetime. When we place our footwear shoetrees all night, this moisture is absorbed by the shoetrees with the potential odor and aroma while containing the shoe tree naturally deodorizes your shoes. It's like unwinding our shoes and give them more life.
To keep the skin of our shoes in excellent condition results in longer shelf life, you should never wear them for more than two consecutive days. As mentioned above should lose the sweat of our feet and keep the shape.
Should every time we wear our shoes to use shoe horn. In this way we prevent kinking of the rear shoe (heel collar).
Frequent dyeing shoes gives them flexibility, and keeps like new. For the most suitable cream paint smooth skin would suggest the Crème Surfine company Saphir with beeswax, respectively while the suede suede Special Daim of Saphir.
The new shoes are necessary to be waterproofed. With waterproofing we create a transparent protective film that removes the water and leaves no physical dirt to penetrate. For waterproofing shoes we recommend Invulner company Saphir for all types of footwear.
We should not leave our shoes exposed to the sun and to place them near a heater. It should normally be losing any moisture. If it they are wet, it is best to let them dry in a shaded area at room temperature. By heating up the skin it dries and creates cracks.
