Term leather shoes are made using high-grade materials and are fully dyed-through, which means that the colour is not just on the surface but runs all the way through the leather. Therefore if the surface is scuffed off, the colour underneath will be similar and minor scuffs can be touched up with a good polish. On darker leathers such as black, brown or navy, the easiest way to conceal minor scuff damage and help your child’s shoes to keep their good looks for longer is with regular polishing. NB: Never apply polish or cleaner to shoes or boots that are wet or damp.
