Footwear rules

• When fitting shoes should not cause you inconvenience, the foot should not be compressed.
• Carefully study the labeling of shoes and the attached instructions. If something is not clear, ask the seller.
• Putting on shoes, use a special spatula. It is not recommended to take off your shoes when stepping on the backside. Putting on and off your shoes, untie the laces, undo the buckles, and open the zipper, etc.
• Before making a purchase, carefully inspect the selected pair. If there are objections, give them to the seller. If in doubt, ask for another pair.
• Shoes made of nubuck, suede, textile, reptile skins or other material besides smooth leather need specialized care. Before you buy, ask the seller how to properly care for your chosen shoes. If possible, write down his recommendations and purchase care products immediately: water-repellent impregnation, cream or spray for everyday care and renewal of color, special brush for cleaning from dust and velvety. We recommend the products of the company Salamander, which offers a large selection of brushes for deep and surface cleaning of nubuck, suede and textiles.
• Wear shoes according to the purpose: street, weekend, office, work, sports, home.
  In the weekend and office shoes with leather soles do not go on long walks on uneven, rough surfaces: cobblestone, asphalt. Do not walk in such shoes on gravel, rural roads, forest. Do not wear in wet weather.
• Shoes with leather soles, in our climatic conditions, withstand the warranty period, only with rubber prevention. If you do not want to put prophylaxis, then use a special means to protect the leather sole from water and quick wear.
• In shoes with high and leather-covered heels, be careful where there are narrow and deep crevices, for example: a wipe for the feet, a cobble-stone, a planking floor. Do not operate the machine in such shoes.
• Do not allow excessive mechanical loads, shocks, cuts, which usually lead to the separation of heels, soles, accessories.
• Wear shoes according to the season. For example: Sole on summer shoes, leather and nap. varnish can not withstand frost and crack.
• In closed shoes from nap. varnish in warm weather legs can sweat. Can help specials. moisture absorbing insole.
• Do not expose non-specialized shoes to prolonged and continuous exposure to moisture, especially sweat. Allow the shoe to dry completely before putting it back on.
  If your feet sweat a lot, use anti-despirant feet and special wicking absorbent insoles. Dry your shoes at room temperature. If you dry your shoes near a radiator, heater or open flame, the sole may peel off due to a sharp temperature difference, dry up and crack the skin, or deform the top.
  If possible, take out the inner insole and dry it separately. For long periods of storage and drying, to preserve the shape, it is advisable to use special liners that fix the shape of the shoe or can be packed tightly with newspaper or similar paper.
• Leather interior shoes can dye socks and feet. The warranty against painting can only give a synthetic finish. Leather finishes are dyed with natural dyes and when heated and moisture paint can be released. This is not considered a defect. We can put on a thin leather insole and wear black socks for a while.
• It is advisable to have several pairs of shoes for the season. Then letting the pair dry for a few days and straighten out, you extend the service life and good appearance of the shoe.
• Regularly, at least once a week, clean shoes from dirt and dust. And then to refresh the color, add shine and protection from the environment after cleaning on the top of the shoe, apply a thin layer of shoe cream of the corresponding color.
• Use only cleaning, washing and shoe care products that are designed and suitable for the material and type of footwear.
• Attention! The popular foam sponges soaked in silicone or glycerin are intended only for short, fast glossing. With prolonged use, dry skin. Not intended for everyday care. After applying the sponge shoes must be washed with shampoo for dry cleaning and soak with creams.
• Monitor the condition of the shoes. Give worn soles and heels for repair in time, repair worn shoes, change internal insoles, shoelaces. It happens that women’s shoes are lost. This happens more often on new shoes, as they are the original heel. The manufacturer does not put taps on the glue, so that they can be changed. Therefore, if you lose the taps and continue to walk – this will irrevocably spoil the heel. You need to contact the workshop, where you will put a new tally. Lost taps are not considered a defect, according to the specifications described above.
• Trust shoe repair only to a specialist in a good workshop.
• Black clothes and bags made of suede and nubuck can be cleaned at home with Salamander cleaning products. It is better to clean colored clothes and bags made of suede and nubuck in specials. workshops. Because clothes have a large area and evenly clean at home is difficult. Somewhere it is better to clean, where it is worse and colored clothes will look spotty. And on the black it is imperceptible. These rules are developed on the basis of the experience of manufacturers and shoe experts in European countries.
