Welcome to Blue Heeler!
We want our shoes to accompany you faithfully for a long time! By providing good instructions for leather care, we want to contribute to the longevity of your shoes and thus to sustainability as a whole.
Whether you have just bought new shoes or your treasures have been sitting in the wardrobe for a long time … your shoes want to be regularly pampered with a “wellness program” using a product that is tailored to the leather.
| ADVANTAGES | DISADVANTAGES | |
|---|---|---|
| Shoe polish | Penetrates deep into the leather and nourishes more | Hardly any protection against moisture and dirt |
| refreshes the color | low gloss after polishing | |
| Shoe wax | Protection from moisture and dirt | few care properties |
| Gloss after polishing | ||
| Leather grease | Impregnation | Use sparingly, too much will damage the leather |
The principle here is: clean first – then clean!
It is essential to remove superficial soiling before using care products.
The gentler the better… in other words, do not apply shoe polish or wax to a dirty shoe. Otherwise there is a risk that the shoe will look stained after care. The dirt also prevents the shoe polish from being absorbed into the leather.
For smooth leather, a cloth is often sufficient, which – if necessary – should be damp but not wet.
Otherwise, you can also brush the shoe carefully with a soft brush if it is superficially dirty.
For heavy soiling, apply cleaning foam to the shoe with a sponge and leave to work for approx. 5 minutes. Then remove with a slightly damp cloth. The foam removes the deep-seated protection from the leather.
Care products should only ever be applied to a dry shoe.
Shoe polish or wax makes smooth leather supple in the long term
You can either use a colorless version or one that matches the color of the shoe.
The colored version also compensates for light scratches and refreshes the color.
Due to its rough surface, suede is more susceptible to soiling and moisture. If this material is not cared for properly, it can quickly look stained and dirty. It can also become porous and the color loses its intensity.
Suede definitely needs more intensive care than smooth leather, but it is not more time-consuming, as you do not use shoe polish or wax and therefore do not need to polish it.
Instead, you are well advised to use different brushes, e.g.
a dirt brush for removing superficial dust
and
a special suede brush for coarse soiling and stains.
The use of brushes on suede is like a good massage:
As gentle as possible – as strong as necessary …
It is best to remove superficial dust daily or after each wear -.
see also Care for in between.
This may seem excessive at first, but the effort is manageable and worth it in the long run. Even after a short walk, fine dust settles on the leather, which appears slightly gray in dark colors. If this dust is brushed off immediately, it only takes a few moments and the dust has no opportunity to penetrate deeper into the leather. If you don’t do this, the dust will settle in the leather the next time it comes into contact with moisture at the latest and a much more time-consuming wet cleaning will then be necessary.
In the case of coarse soiling and stains, e.g. mud, it is advisable to clean the shoes when damp and again as soon as possible after wearing them, when the dirt has not yet set in.
Important: always treat the entire shoe or both shoes, as otherwise water marks may appear, especially on light-colored suede shoes.
otherwise color differences are possible after cleaning.
Nubuck leather also belongs to the suede family and is characterized by its velvety soft surface, which makes it look very elegant. This leather is very breathable, but also less UV-resistant than other types of leather and the color fades quickly in the sun.
The open-pored leather soaks up moisture quickly and dirt quickly settles on it. Shoes made of this leather should therefore only be worn in dry weather if possible. These properties also determine the care.
Here too, reaching for the brush every day saves a lot of time in the long run. Dry cleaning for in between or as a basis for the wellness program.
As described above, fine dust is deposited every time you wear them. To prevent this from penetrating deeper into the leather in the long term, it should always be removed as far as possible with a dirt brush; a brush with rubber bristles, for example, is recommended for light soiling and a special brush with metal bristles for heavy soiling. Brushing also roughens the leather again and restores the characteristic velvety look and forms the basis for the wellness program.
If the nubuck leather shoe does get wet, we recommend brushing it off with a damp dirt brush until the material is evenly damp, otherwise water marks and color differences may form. Always treat both shoes.
For heavier soiling and stains, liquid cleaning agents, e.g. mild bamboo lotions or foam with a stronger cleaning effect, should be used as follows.
