Care for leather dress shoes

After you have picked your dress shoes the first thing you should do is to give them proper care. Initial care includes treating the shoes with a wax or a special cream.

Leather shoes: use some wax or simple Kiwi shoe polish to protect the shoe before wearing.
Nubuck or suede: Make sure to protect the soft leather against moisture. If they get soaking wet or very dirty the leather may become damaged. Simple protectant spray is a must.
Patent leather: The shoes are shiny from the start, but you should also protect them from damages, scuffs and marks and preserve shine. Use lack cream or a milk conditioner. Remember to try the stuff out on a hidden part of a shoe first!

Remove scuffs and marks from shoes immediately.

Polish and apply special leather conditioner on your shoe regularly to prevent damage.

Dress shoes for back problems

If you are having problems with your back and standing for long times during day at the office than you should probably take a look at what shoes you are wearing. Make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes with the right foot support. Concrete floors are not a natural environment for your feet. Some cushioning will help you keeping your joints healthy.
