Shoe Care/Repair

Special companions must be cherished: they’ll carry you to outstanding places around the world. And for a lifetime.

A few essential tips:

• Let your shoes rest. Don’t wear the same pair two days in a row. Leather needs to breathe and release moisture.
• Always insert cedar shoe trees to keep their shape and absorb humidity.
• Use a shoehorn to preserve their form and protect the heel.

Imagine a little ritual, like a good drink and a cigar in hand: here’s how to care for your shoes.

• Start by brushing off the dust with a soft brush, then gently clean with a damp sponge and let dry for a couple of hours.
• Apply nourishing cream with a soft cloth in small circular motions, allowing it to soak in for 10-15 minutes. Finish with a soft brush to polish.
• For a more polished look, use beeswax for a glossy finish. We recommend neutral for shaded or patina leather, and colored beeswax for plain leather. Apply wax gently, especially on flexible areas — more layers on the toe and heel.
• For suede, a brush and occasional protective spray are all you need.

Whenever you desire, your Zamparini shoes are always welcome for a refined SPA treatment.
