- Remove shoelaces to prevent them from getting wet or stained.
- Remove dirt with one of the brushes we mentioned. Don't wait for the stains to dry, the sooner you clean them the less damage there will be and the easier it will be to clean them.
- Use soap to remove stubborn stains , you can also use foam cleaner. Be careful not to get the leather of the shoe too wet.

When you have followed these simple steps, you can take a polishing brush to give it that special shine that your leather shoes should have. Finally, let your shoes air dry, but be careful not to leave them in the sun, as this can cause discoloration or cracks in the leather. Once they are ready, you can spray them (from a distance of 30 cm) with a protective spray to make them softer, more flexible and waterproof.
