If you have invested a lot of money in your footwear, you will want to make sure you are taking care of it properly. This means buying the right leather shoe care products. If you are in the market for care items for your favorite footwear, here is how to pick the right items for you.

It pays to know what kind of leather your shoes and boot are made out of. This is because different kinds of leather need different handling and treatment. Suede needs to be treated in a different way and you cannot use the same kinds of polishes or sprays on them. If you do, you can harm the surface texture and it may lead to irreparable damage.

If you want to narrow down your search it is important to be able to categorize the different care items that are available. For example, many are related to cleaning and polishing boots, booties and shoes. Others are designed more towards storing these items or helping them maintain a specific shape. You need to think about what you are looking for before you go shopping.

If you want to clean and polish your leather footwear, you will need to put a basic kit together. You should look for brushes to clean off dirt and to apply polish. You should also invest in another cloth that can be used to polish your footwear and another brush that can be used to buff off the polish once it has dried.

It may be tempting to skimp and purchase inexpensive shoe polish but this isn't always the best idea. You want to make sure that the polish is rich and will keep the leather supple and hydrated. Dry leather will crack and flake and it will not look good for long. You may want to buy basic black as well as more custom colors that will match your footwear. Again, make sure that the products you buy are designed for the kind of leather that has been used to make your shoes.

If you live in a wet climate, it can be a good idea to get water repellent spray for your footwear. This will help keep moisture out and make sure it does not damage your footwear. Again, make sure you buy the right product for the type of leather you are trying to treat and make sure that you treat several times over the course of wet weather.

Once your footwear has been cleaned and protected you will now need somewhere to put it. You may want to consider investing in a storage system that will prevent accidental damage and help keep your collection organized. You may also want to think about buying stretchers and boot forms that will help your footwear keep its original shape.

If you want to start shopping you have many places to look. A good place to start is a shoe repair store. They often sell many different footwear related items and can advise you on the best products as well as their proper use and application. Then you can feel confident that your investment will stay looking great for years to come.
