Leather footwear is more than just an accessory—it’s an investment in timeless style and comfort. At The House of Leon, we craft shoes designed to last, but proper care is key to maintaining their beauty and durability.

Start by cleaning your shoes regularly. Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt and dust, followed by a damp cloth to wipe away any stubborn marks. Avoid using harsh chemicals; instead, opt for a leather cleaner to preserve the material’s integrity.

Conditioning is the next step. Leather is a natural material that can dry out over time. Applying a high-quality leather conditioner will keep it supple and prevent cracks. Make conditioning a monthly habit, especially for shoes exposed to dry or humid environments.

Protect your shoes with a water-repellent spray, particularly if you live in a rainy area. This extra layer of defense helps keep water and stains at bay without compromising the leather’s breathability.

Finally, store your shoes properly. Use shoe trees to maintain their shape and allow them to breathe between wears. Avoid storing leather shoes in plastic, as it can trap moisture and cause damage.

With these simple steps, your The House of Leon footwear will remain a stylish companion for years to come.
