Fashion Tips 101

Quality Shoes Require Quality Care

  • Polish shoes before the first wearing to protect the leather and allow for an easier shine later on.

  • Keep shoes looking new with regular cleaning and polishing. Every leather is different and a knowledgeable sales associate can instruct you on the best product suited for your shoes. We recommend Allen Edmond’s products for Allen Edmond’s shoes.

  • Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes two days in a row. You must give the leather the time it needs to dry from the moisture your foot has produced during wear.

  • Insert one hundred percent natural cedar shoe trees into your shoes to help retain shape and to absorb odor. This is essential. With each new pair invest in shoe trees.

  • Always use a shoe horn to keep the heel counter (the back of the shoe) from losing its stability.

  • If shoes get wet, insert cedar shoe trees while the shoes are still damp and allow to air-dry. Do not place shoes in direct heat.

  • Heels should never wear down past the lift of the shoe. Regular trips to the shoe-repair shop will maintain soles and uppers and keep your shoes looking their best.
