Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to best take care of your leather shoes.

Step by step guide

Step 1

Start by removing the laces. Then, insert shoe trees or stuff the shoes with newspaper to maintain their shape.

Step 2

Brush away any dirt and wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots or stains, apply ECCO Foam Cleaner and let it dry for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Gently massage ECCO Smooth Leather Care Cream onto the shoe's upper and brush the shoe to help the leather absorb the cream. Regular application keeps the leather smooth and supple.

Step 4

Apply shoe polish for a shiny new look, or use ECCO Revive with a cloth for a high shine. Allow the shoes to dry and wipe away excess polish before brushing vigorously.

Step 5

Finally, use a water-repellent spray to enhance the protection of your shoes against wet weather. Apply ECCO Repel from a distance of 10 inches/25 cm and leave it to dry for 15 minutes.

Repeat every 6 months
