Tips for Caring for your leather items

Alexander Wang shoes are fairly durable, but with a little bit of love they can last a long time. If you have quality Alexander Wang boots, then they will have natural antibacterial properties to reduce smells and they will also breathe naturally. You love genuine leather footwear and Alexander Wang shoes because they are comfortable and fashionable, let's keep them looking great! The following are a few tips to help you maintain their natural beauty and functionality:

1. Store your Alexander Wang Shoes in a dry dark place. Just like any natural product, moisture can cause problems and they can bleach in extreme sunlight.

2. Avoid the temptation to wear your shoes in the rain or extreme wet weather (including fresh snow).

3. If your footwear does become dirty, first try to clean the exterior with a light, dry brush. Just softly. Treat them nice, like they treat you!

4. If their exterior condition requires more attention, you can use a small amount of cold water on a soft brush or cloth. Gently brush, trying not to saturate the genuine leather with water. Always brush in the same direction.

5. If needed, you can use a small amount of wool detergent, or leather approved cleaning product, but do carefully read the instructions.

6. Never use a washing machine or dryer, this will cause problems with shrinkage and can adversely change the shape of your beloved boots.

7. Dry in an airy warm spot. Not in direct sunlight or too close to the heater! This can again affect the shape of your shoes.

8. A great idea is to stuff your shoes with paper towels while drying. This serves to maintain the shape of the shoes, as well as sponging excess moisture. Depending on how wet your shoes are, you may need to change the paper towels.

9. Once dry, brush the shoes lightly with a soft brush to clear any excess detergents and revitalise the soft feel.

10. Some advise protecting your shoes with a fabric protection such as Scotch-Guard. This wont affect the breathability, but will add protection against stains and water damage. Apply after cleaning.
