HOW TO CARE BOAT SHOES ?

Have you just purchased boat shoes or do you want to extend their lifespan? Boat shoes require specific care depending on the type of leather.Follow our tips for properly cleaning your Christophe Auguin boat shoes.

Before you start, first remove the laces from your shoes and deodorize the inside by sprinkling baking soda on the insole to remove moisture and bad odors.Leave to act for 4 hours then remove the powder by tapping and sucking up the remaining residue.

Step 1 :
Si vos leather boat shoes are dirty, dirt, dust and other residue should be removed with a toothbrush or stiff brush (preferably with rubber bristles) designed specifically for leather. Rub gently in the same direction. For tougher stains, mix water and mild dish soap. Wet a microfiber cloth and clean in a circular motion. Wipe and dry with a clean, dry microfiber cloth, always in a circular motion.

Step 2 :
Before waxing your leather boat shoes, it is essential to apply a leather cream. Using a soft cloth, apply a thin layer of cream to your pair and leave to act for about twenty minutes. If any material remains, remove the excess with a dry cloth. To polish your shoes, prefer a colorless shoe polish to be applied in circular movements. Then, remove the excess with a soft cloth.

Nubuck and suede boat shoes require the same care steps.

Step 1 :
To clean your nubuck and suede boat shoes ,take an eraser or a brush and rub gently in the same direction to remove encrusted dust and soil. Then, using a sponge, tap on the outside of the shoe to remove stubborn marks. Be careful, do not rub at the risk of scratching the leather. Then, make balls of newspaper that you will slide inside the shoe so that they keep their shape after drying. To get rid of the most stubborn stains, sprinkle cornstarch on the stain in question and leave to act for ten minutes. Remove the excess by tapping the shoe.

Step 2 :
When the suede is cleaned, use a renovator on the entire shoe to refresh the color and waterproof it. Leave to dry for 30 minutes.
