When it comes to caring for your delicate Belgha Leather footwear there are a few key things to keep in mind to ensure their longevity and quality.
Firstly, it's important to avoid water exposure: Natural leather is not suitable for washing or submerging in water. Keep your handmade shoes away from rain, puddles, or any excessive moisture. Water can damage the leather, cause discoloration, and affect the overall quality of the shoes.
To keep your leather shoes looking their best, gently remove any dirt, dust, or debris using a soft brush or a dry cloth. Regularly dust off the shoes to prevent particles from settling into the leather.
Avoid direct heat and sunlight: Exposure to direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight can cause the leather to dry out, fade, and crack. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. If your shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
When not in use, store your handmade leather shoes in a breathable storage bag or box. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or airtight containers as it can cause the leather to dry out. Stuff the shoes with tissue paper or shoe trees to help retain their shape.
Lastly, be gentle while wearing and handling your leather shoes. Avoid excessive bending, folding, or applying pressure to the leather. Doing so can cause creases and permanent damage.
