Professional Shoe Care Products That Work

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.

In order to keep your kicks looking their best for as long as possible, they need a good cleaning once in awhile. Depending on the type of material, there are special soaps and cleansers that you can use to achieve cleanliness. Most shoes can't just be thrown in the wash or submerged in water without ruining them, so follow the directions on the bottle of cleanser to ensure they stay in tip top shape.

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.

Some areas are very rainy and damp, necessitating the use of boots or overshoes. Instead, you could just waterproof your shoes to make them resistant to water in case of an occasional puddle or rainstorm mishap. These waterproofing sprays or waxes generally also help protect against staining, an added bonus. This is a great tool for those who work in water or damp environments to keep your shoes in good shape and your feet dry and comfortable.

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.
