Shoeshine while shopping!

Hello, I am Qualinest on the 5th floor.

While we are happy that leather shoes can be used for many years depending on their care, many people say that taking care of them is a hassle...they don't know how to do it...
This issue is a must for those who have problems with care! We will show you how to take care of leather. Why don't you start preparing your leather shoes for your new life in spring?

This time, we will be looking at the care of "natural leather," which is characterized by its smooth and shiny appearance.
(Shoes: BENEXY/360)


To care for your leather shoes,
The care consists of the steps of "dirt removal" (cleansing), "waterproofing" (water repellency and dirt prevention), and "moisturizing" (milky lotion).

(1) Clean the dirt

First, use a "horsehair brush" to remove dust and sand from the shoes.
Dust left on shoes can cause mold, so regular brushing will change the condition of the shoes!

(2) Wipe off dirt

Next, take "UniCream" on a cloth and wipe off the dirt.
Once the dirt and old cream that has penetrated into the leather is removed, the next cream will be more easily absorbed.

3) Waterproof spray

Sprinkle "Water Stop" waterproofing spray to enhance the waterproofing effect.
This waterproof spray is gentle to leather, repelling water from the inside without putting a film on the leather surface.

Moisturizer

Apply the nourishing cream "Water Stop Colors".
It moisturizes the leather and protects it from drying and cracking. This cream comes with a sponge, so it is easy to spread directly on the shoes.

(5) Finish brushing

Finally, brush again with a "horsehair brush".
The frictional heat generated by brushing dissolves the oil in the nutritional cream that has just been applied, allowing it to penetrate the leather.

BEFORE] There is a small scratch around the toe.

AFTER] Moisturizing the surface gave it an overall sheen, and minor scratches were no longer noticeable.

Regular care will make your shoes last longer. If you find it difficult to take care of your shoes at home... we offer leather shoe care services from as little as 20 minutes at our store.
