Shoes that are cleaned REGULARLY the right way and are looked after well will last longer, look better, retain their shape and remain water-resistant. Care for your shoes and you will extend their life and maintain their as-new appearance over the years.

To dry shoes, put them in a warm airy place. Never dry over an open fire or any artificial heat source.
