Shoe Care 101: How to Keep Your Favourite Pairs Looking New

Investing in quality shoes from brands like Merrell, Ziera, and Top End deserves long-term protection. Here's how to make your shoes last longer and keep them looking sharp.

1. Waterproof Before You Wear

Spray your new shoes with a waterproof protector — especially leather, suede, and fabric pairs. This prevents water stains and protects from dirt buildup.

2. Rotate Your Footwear

Give shoes a rest day between wears. This prevents odor, allows soles to decompress, and extends the life of the shoe.

3. Clean with the Right Tools

Use a suede brush, leather conditioner, or mild soap depending on the material. Never toss quality shoes in the washing machine — it can ruin the structure.

4. Store Properly

Keep shoes in a cool, dry place. Use shoe trees or stuff them with tissue paper to retain shape.
