Shoes of exceptional quality will last long naturally but if you really want to get the most out of your purchase, you need to make sure you take care of your shoes.
With that in mind, here are five tips for keeping your Italian shoes in tip-top shape year-round and for many years to come.

You can find several guides online to shoe shining. Find a method that best suits your needs and be sure to regularly follow it to leave your fine Italian shoes looking great and allow you to step out on the town with confidence.
2. Use Shoe Trees
One of the best items you can purchase to ensure your shoes live a long and healthy life is a pair of shoe trees, preferably made from cedarwood. Shoe trees help to preserve the shoes shape, stop it from developing creases, control odor and absorb moisture.
Shoe trees are especially important if you ever wear the shoes without socks as the perspiration can damage the inner lining of the shoe over time.
3. Clean Your Shoes on a Regular Basis
It goes without saying that a key component to a long-lasting shoe is a regular cleaning regimen. Before you get started, check to see whether the leather on your shoe is finished or unfinished. Leather that is untreated requires different cleansers.

Weatherproofing your shoes is a vital and easy step to make sure they’re ready no matter what mother nature decides to throw at you. Here’s one of many guides that describes how to weatherproof your shoes. Stay on top of this vital step and you’ll never fear cloudy skies again.
5. Purchase High-Quality Shoes
