Leather Care Guide

Handmade leather shoes are an investment in style, comfort, and durability. With just a few minutes of regular care, the leather will stay soft, strong, and elegant for years. Here are our expert tips from Jordan Handmade Shoes craftsmen.

Daily care

After each use, remove dust and moisture with a soft cloth or a natural bristle brush. Avoid soaking the leather – too much water may damage its structure.

Protection and waterproofing

We recommend using leather care sprays designed for natural leather. They protect against moisture and stains without changing the color. Avoid waxes and heavy pastes, as they may darken the leather or make it too shiny.

Conditioning and nourishment

Every few weeks, apply a thin layer of neutral cream or conditioner. Gently polish with a soft cloth to restore natural shine and flexibility. Avoid strong pigments unless you want to slightly darken the tone.

Drying and storage

If your shoes get wet, dry them at room temperature away from heat sources. Use shoe trees or paper to maintain their shape. Store them in cotton bags to protect from dust and humidity.

Our recommendations

• Use colorless sprays without silicones or dyes.
• Avoid wax on matte or hand-painted finishes.
• Let shoes air out between wears.
