Professional Shoe Care Products You Need

By

Some shoes hardly have a scuff and can be cleaned and maintained at home with very little effort. Others are made with sensitive materials or need a little more care. That is when it is prudent to use professional shoe care products for all your care and cleaning needs.

Your new kicks are going to get dirty or even muddy at some point, no matter how careful you try to be. This is why cleaning is so important in the care process. While some shoes might be safe to toss into the laundry machine, most will require special cleansers like the kind professionals use. Make sure to buy for your type and shoe material, and especially be sure to follow the cleaning instructions on the package.

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.

The heels and especially the toes of your shoes can really take a beating, creating fading and scuffs that make them look ruined. They aren't ruined however, as long as you buy a pro dye to apply to them. Follow all directions and make sure the dye is made specifically for your shoe's material in order to avoid any calamities. A careful application can have the pair looking great once more.

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.

When you buy a nice pair of shoes, no matter what the cost or material, you are hoping they will last. Protect your investment by using professional tools to ensure they stay looking great for the long haul. You will then be able to wear them for years to come, making the investment in pro level tools worth it in the end.
