The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Leather Shoes
Your RichSteps shoes are an investment — and like any investment, they deserve proper care to maintain their beauty and longevity.
Step 1: Regular Cleaning
After every wear, remove dirt and dust using a soft horsehair brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dry out the leather.

Step 2: Conditioning
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner once every 3-4 weeks to nourish the leather and prevent cracking. Let it absorb naturally for a supple finish.
Step 3: Polishing
Use a matching color cream or wax polish to restore shine and add a protective layer. Buff the shoes with a soft cloth for a subtle glow.

Step 4: Use Cedar Shoe Trees
Insert cedar shoe trees when your shoes are not in use. They maintain shape, absorb moisture, and eliminate odors.
Step 5: Rotate Your Shoes
Avoid wearing the same pair daily. Giving your shoes time to rest between wears helps preserve their form and materials.
