Monsoon may bring relief from the heat, but it’s bad news for leather shoes. Just one splash or soak, and your favorite pair can lose its shape, shine, or even crack. But don’t worry.
Hello everyone! Welcome to Sasvibe.
Here are simple tips to keep your leather shoes in top shape during the rainy season:
1. Avoid Wearing Leather on Rainy Days
First rule—if it’s pouring, try not to wear your leather shoes outside. Go for waterproof or rubber footwear instead and save the leather for dry days.
2. Use a Waterproof Spray
Apply a good-quality leather protector or waterproof spray on your shoes. It creates a barrier against water and prevents stains.
3. Dry Them the Right Way
If your leather shoes get wet, don’t place them near direct heat or under the sun. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain shape. Let them air dry naturally.
4. Condition Regularly
Use a leather conditioner every couple of weeks during monsoon to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking due to dampness or drying.
5. Store with Care
Keep your shoes in a dry, ventilated area. Use silica gel packets or moisture absorbers in your shoe rack to avoid mold and musty smells.
With just a little extra care, your stylish leather shoes can survive the monsoon without losing their charm. Stay dry and walk with confidence!
