Some tips for taking care of your boots

You have finally found the perfect boots that gracefully embrace your legs, and you want them to stay in good condition for as long as possible. We understand how essential it is to cherish these shoes that bring you comfort and confidence. That's why we have gathered some practical tips for maintaining and prolonging the lifespan of your beloved wide calf boots. Follow these simple pieces of advice, and your wide calf boots will continue to shine year after year.

1. Protect them before wearing them
   Before wearing your shoes for the first time, apply a protective/waterproofing spray appropriate for the material of your shoes. This should be repeated regularly, according to the instructions for use of the product used.
   
   
2. Clean them regularly
   To keep your shoes in perfect condition, get into the habit of cleaning them regularly after wearing them. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and dust. Depending on the material of your shoes, use appropriate products to clean/maintain them. This will help remove stains and prevent premature wear.
   
   
3. Use shoe trees
   Shoe trees are essential accessories for keeping your shoes in shape. They prevent them from deforming and help to remove moisture from the inside. Choose shoe trees that fit your shoes and insert them when you're not wearing them to keep them in good condition.
   
   
4. Avoid wearing them every day
   We know you love your shoes, but wearing them every day can accelerate wear and tear. Alternate them with other shoes to give them time to recover and regain their original shape. This will also help them last longer.
   
   
5. Store them properly
   Proper storage is essential to keep your shoes in optimum condition. Avoid stacking them on top of each other, as this could deform them. Instead, store them upright. If you're short of space, use individual storage bags to protect them from dust and unwanted rubbing.
   
   
6. Have them professionally looked after
   From time to time, give your shoes a professional treatment by having them looked after by a trusted shoemaker. A professional will be able to give them a thorough cleaning, carry out minor repairs and maintain them properly to keep them in top condition.

Conclusion
By lovingly and carefully caring for your wide calf boots, you can keep them in impeccable condition for many seasons to come.
Clean them regularly, protect them from water and moisture, use boot shapers, and avoid wearing them daily. Proper storage and occasional professional maintenance will also contribute to prolonging their lifespan.
Enjoy your favorite boots to the fullest, as with these tips, they will remain your faithful style companions for a long time!
