Shoe Mold Prevention! Are you keeping them clean?

Hello, I am Qualinest on the 5th floor.

The Mint Kobe store has "Repair Specialists" on staff who specialize in repairs, including "leather treatment" to make your shoes last longer, "simple repairs" for same-day delivery, and "suggestions for care products" to take care of your shoes at home.

As fall approaches, it is time for more and more people to get out their leather shoes and boots.
I haven't worn them in a while, but they are moldy! Many of you may have experienced this.

In this issue, we will talk about "mold prevention" for such shoes.

To begin with, there are two causes of shoe mold

(1) Moisture
Do you ever leave your shoes in a damp condition due to rain, etc.?
Entrances tend to be airy, and shoe boxes tend to accumulate moisture when closed.

(2) Stains
Dust and dirt" on shoes is a source of nutrients for mold.

Many of you have taken measures to prevent moisture, but many of you have told us that you have not taken measures to prevent 'dirt'.
Here is a must-have item for preventing mold on your precious shoes: stain remover.

1. Horsehair brush
2,420 yen (including tax)

Not only does it add a glossy finish, but it also prevents mold just by removing dust!
If you are too busy to take care of your hair frequently, we recommend that you start by brushing it.

2. Uni-cream
Recommended material: Natural leather
1,650 yen (tax included)

A stain remover is used to remove not only dirt on the surface of the leather, but also old cream previously applied deep within the leather.
By removing dirt, it prevents mildew! Furthermore, it also makes it easier for waterproofing and nutritional creams to penetrate!

3. Organic bamboo lotion
Recommended material: suede and oiled leather
2,640 yen (tax included)

Organic, organic stain remover based on bamboo extract.
Use on suede and oiled leather where cream-type stain removers cannot be used.

At the change of season when you change shoes, why don't you check the condition of your shoes and maintain them?
For those who find it difficult to take care of their leather at home, we offer "leather treatment" in our stores.

Leather treatment (shoe polish)
1,650～2,750 yen including tax
Time: Minimum 20 min.

Any brand of shoes can now be used!

In case the staff member in charge is not available, you may be asked to leave the room for a few days.
*We may not be able to accept shoes that are severely damaged or made of special materials.


If you have shoes that you are interested in, please bring them to our store while you shop!
