Professional Shoe Care Products For Everyone

By Aimee Schwartz


If you buy a nice pair of shoes, it makes sense that you will want to take care of them in order to keep them looking new as long as possible. Professional shoe care products help you maintain your new investment, with special products for different needs and material types.

Cleaning is an essential part of the care process. Mud, dirt and debris can all slowly deteriorate the material, unless you clean them as soon as possible after the soiling occurs. Use special pro soaps and cleansers that are made for the material your shoes are made out of. Don't just submerge them in water or throw them in with the rest of your laundry. Instead follow instructions to ensure they stay looking new.

After a good washing, you will have to shine your shoes properly in order to make them gleam. Using professional grade polish helps you achieve great results. The brush you use to apply and buff the polish is also important. The bristles should be firm but not enough to scratch the material, and a professional brush has that perfect balance.

If you work in a damp or downright wet environment, including jobs in water, keeping your shoes from getting moldy and keeping your feet dry and comfortable is very important. There are waterproofing sprays and waxes on the market that you can use yourself or get a pro to apply for you. These are a great tool because they repel water and help to prevent unsightly stains as well. This is also good for those who live in rainy climates or damp areas.

Sometimes your favorite pair of shoes pinches just a little bit when you walk, which can cause unneeded pain. Instead of donating or returning those shoes, you can use a stretcher to get them a little longer or wider, depending on your needs. These usually come in a pair in both men's and women's sizes, are adjustable and may come with special stretching fluid as well.

Older shoes that are very scuffed may have lost some of their color, particularly and the heels and toes, two areas where a lot of fading occurs. You could toss them out, but some shoes are expensive and made of quality materials, so investing in a little bit of dye is a better option than just throwing them out. These dyes come in many shades and are made for specific types material.

Nothing looks quite as luxe as a brand new pair of suede shoes. The problem is that they require special care that other types of leather just don't require. The same can be said of nubuck shoes, which are also very stylish and popular. Purchase special suede and nubuck cleaners to keep them looking great.

There is no reason why your fanciest shoes can't last you for years or possibly even decades. As long as you take proper care of them, they can last so long you may be able to pass them on to relatives. Use professional tools and cleaners to maintain them and you can achieve long-lasting results.
