First, after each wear, you can quickly and easily wipe them off, gently with a soft cloth. This will remove any dust or dirt that can get picked up off the ground. You donÕt need to dampen the cloth for this type of care. If there is something spilled on them, you can moisten the cloth first.
If the shoes get wet, perhaps from rainfall or by stepping in a puddle, you can put them in a shady spot outdoors if the weather is warm. DonÕt put them in direct sunlight or use a hair dryer on them. From time to time, you may decide to apply appropriate conditioner.
When you store them, you can slip a shoe tree inside, such as one crafted from cedar or poplar. Then, place them inside a fabric bag. To restore the original shine, buff the shoes with a soft cloth. As needed, you can sprinkle baking soda on the soles overnight to freshen them. In the morning, just shake the powder out.
