Leather Sole Care Guide

Step-by-step

  1. Brush the soles of your shoes with a stiff plastic bristled mud brush to remove any trapped or ground in dirt from the welt and any stitched areas.
  2. Once the sole is free from dirt and dust you can use sole guard, to apply this, wrap a soft cotton cloth around your fingers and apply a small amount of the product to the cloth. Work the product into the sole and heel in small circular motions making sure to cover the whole surface. Leave to dry for at least an hour before wearing again to get the full benefit from the product. Do this routine monthly to look after the soles and keep them supple and waterproof.
