Weekly brush with soft brush. Remove dirt before it dries. Prevents staining and material degradation.

Condition leather35–55 min

Monthly for leather shoes. Apply conditioner, buff with cloth. Keeps leather supple, prevents cracking.

Protect with spray55–75 min

Water and stain protection spray. Reapply quarterly. Prevents permanent damage from accidents.

Rotate and rest shoes75–90 min
