From 5V We would like to take advantage of this blog article to give you some tips that will be essential if we want to enjoy our handmade footwear for a long time.
One of the greatest luxuries we can allow ourselves is the ability to dress our feet appropriately. Shoes are without a doubt one of the most important elements of clothing we wear today. Shoes will help us with one of the most basic and important habits in the life of any human being: moving around the world.
If we want to take care of our feet, there is nothing better than using custom-made shoes, using traditional methods and quality natural materials. handcrafted shoes With quality leathers taking into account all the measurements of our foot, they are the best way to obtain a comfortable shoe that will take care of our foot with every step.
However, shoes made with natural leathers and skins They require special care if we want to extend their durability. Below we give you some tips on how to take care of your shoes.
Natural leathers are made of organic matter, they are “alive”, this is a characteristic that distinguishes quality footwear from other types of footwear. Synthetic leathers are of lower quality and do not have the characteristics of natural leathers, in other cases natural leathers are subjected to industrial processes that degrade these characteristics such as flexibility, porosity, texture and shine. In short, it must be taken into account that if custom-made shoes, handcrafted with these high-quality leathers, receive the appropriate care, they can last a lifetime.
To properly maintain our shoesThe first thing to do is to know the elements that we will be using to treat them and their application method. We recommend using specific pastes for the care of leather shoes and the use of moisturizing creams that will help us to highlight the shine and color of the leather.
Pastes, along with creams that will help us take care of our shoes from external aggressions. 5VWe have this type of paste, whose natural composition, created from beeswax and jojoba oil, will leave our shoes impeccable.
Its use and application is simple. First, clean the shoe with a brush or cloth to remove dirt and dust from the outside. Then, apply the beeswax paste using a cloth or sponge to create a thin layer over the entire length of the shoe's leather. This operation should be carried out every 6 or 8 uses of the shoe.
We will use a suitable moisturizing cream that we will apply occasionally. There are different types of creams, some specific for this purpose, such as some that we manufacture and distribute in Jose de Mora and 5VIn any case, our own moisturising cream for hands or face would be enough. Ideally, it should not contain chemicals that can damage the skin. With our specific cream, your shoes will always maintain their shine and colour.
The process is simple. We will use a cloth or brush to clean the shoe from dust or dirt on the outside, and then apply the wax paste with a sponge to create a thin layer that covers the leather of the shoe. We will do this process regularly, for example every week.
The application of the moisturizing cream can be more occasional and we will use it on occasions when we want to restore the shine and color of the shoe in all its splendor. The process is the same as the previous one, first clean, then apply a thin layer, but now we will let it dry and then gently brush the surface of the shoe.
