Professional Shoe Care Products That Work

By Aimee Schwartz


Some shoes hardly have a scuff and can be cleaned and maintained at home with very little effort. Others are made with sensitive materials or need a little more care. That is when it is prudent to use professional shoe care products for all your care and cleaning needs.

In order to keep your kicks looking their best for as long as possible, they need a good cleaning once in awhile. Depending on the type of material, there are special soaps and cleansers that you can use to achieve cleanliness. Most shoes can't just be thrown in the wash or submerged in water without ruining them, so follow the directions on the bottle of cleanser to ensure they stay in tip top shape.

You should regularly polish your shoes to give your look a finished, high-end appearance that cleaning alone just won't do. To do this properly, buy a good brush with bristles that don't scratch but still stand up to the task at hand. Pair the brush with a good quality polish that won't damage the delicate material.

Depending on the weather in your area, waterproofing your shoes might be a good idea. People who work in damp environments will also find this to be a good idea. Several of these pro products are available widely that prevent water from permeating your shoes to keep your feet dry in case you accidentally slip in a puddle or get caught in a rainstorm. Not only do they keep your feet dry, but they also help guard against stains and water damage to your shoes' material.

Sometimes your favorite pair of shoes pinches just a little bit when you walk, which can cause unneeded pain. Instead of donating or returning those shoes, you can use a stretcher to get them a little longer or wider, depending on your needs. These usually come in a pair in both men's and women's sizes, are adjustable and may come with special stretching fluid as well.

The heels and especially the toes of your shoes can really take a beating, creating fading and scuffs that make them look ruined. They aren't ruined however, as long as you buy a pro dye to apply to them. Follow all directions and make sure the dye is made specifically for your shoe's material in order to avoid any calamities. A careful application can have the pair looking great once more.

Suede shoes are beautiful to look at and feel, but they are also very persnickety when it comes to care. The same goes for nubuck, which is similar to suede. There are special cleaners and tools that professionals use to care specifically for these types of shoes so that you get as much life out of them as possible.

With proper care, a quality pair of shoes could last for years or even decades. Consider using the same tools as the pros to keep your kicks looking new. Doing this is a great investment that will save you lots of money in the long run.
