Shoe Care Guide

Proper care will help your handcrafted Oscar William shoes maintain their appearance, comfort, and durability for many years.

We Recommend

To keep your shoes in excellent condition:

  • Use cedar shoe trees after each wear to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Rotate your shoes and avoid wearing the same pair every day.
  • Clean regularly using a soft horsehair brush to remove dust and dirt.
  • Condition the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner to keep it supple.
  • Apply a premium shoe cream or wax polish to nourish, protect, and enhance the finish.
  • Allow wet shoes to dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Store your shoes in their dust bags in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Caring for Handmade Leather Shoes

Regular maintenance will help preserve the natural beauty of the leather and extend the life of your footwear. Proper care also helps maintain comfort, shape, and finish over time.
