Steps to Shoe Care
Scabal shoes are crafted with the finest leathers, offering refined comfort and enduring style. To preserve their quality, structure, and finish, follow these essential care recommendations.
1. Use a Shoe Tree
Insert cedar shoe trees after each wear to maintain shape, absorb moisture, and reduce creasing. This helps extend the life of the leather and keeps the silhouette sharp.
2. Let Them Rest
Shoes benefit from recovery time. Rotate pairs between wears to allow the leather and lining to breathe fully. This prevents odours, reduces wear, and enhances longevity.
3. Brush and Clean Regularly
For smooth leather, wipe gently with a soft cloth after wearing and polish occasionally with a quality shoe cream or wax in a matching tone.
For suede calfskin, use a suede brush to remove dust and lift the nap. Avoid water and treat stains with a dedicated suede eraser or specialist product.
4. Condition with Care
Smooth leather should be nourished occasionally with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness. Avoid over-conditioning, which may clog the pores or dull the finish. Suede should not be conditioned — instead, protect with a suede-specific water and stain repellent.
5. Store Smartly
Keep shoes in their original dust bags or in a breathable shoe box when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight or humid environments, which can warp the leather or fade the colour.
6. Travel Tips
Pack your shoes in shoe bags to avoid scuffs and dents. Use lightweight shoe trees to preserve shape in transit. For longer trips, consider including a small care kit with a cloth, brush, and travel-size polish.
