01 How to Break in New Shoes Without Blisters
Gradually wear new shoes at home with thick socks. Use a shoe stretcher, apply leather cream to soften the leather, or wax on areas prone to abrasions. Protect areas prone to blisters with moleskin or blister pads and apply anti-friction balm.
Ensure a proper fit with different lacing techniques. Try freezing or heating methods to stretch the shoes. Rotate your footwear to avoid constant pressure on the same areas. These steps will help you break in new shoes comfortably and prevent blisters.
02 Prevent Colour Transfers
Our shoes has a layer of high-quality leather protector and sealant to create a barrier against colour transfer. Users are advise to keep shoes dry and clean them regularly with a damp cloth, followed by a leather conditioner.
Wear socks that match the shoe color during initial wears and avoid exposing shoes to direct sunlight or heat. Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag or box. Test new products on a small area first to ensure they don't cause colour bleeding.
03 Understanding New Shoe Odours
New shoes often have a strong odor due to the materials and chemicals used in their manufacturing. This smell comes from adhesives, dyes, and other substances that are not fully cured or dissipated.
The combination of synthetic materials, glues, and treatments used to enhance the shoe's durability and appearance can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are responsible for the distinctive "new shoe smell." This odor usually fades over time as the materials off-gas and are exposed to fresh air.

7 Key Things to Avoid with Genuine Leather Shoes
Avoid getting your leather shoes excessively wet. If they do get wet, dry them naturally away from direct heat sources.
Never use direct heat, such as a heater or hairdryer, to dry leather shoes. This can cause the leather to crack and warp.
Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or alcohol-based products on leather shoes, as they can damage and discolor the leather.
Keep leather shoes away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade and dry out the leather.
Avoid overloading or overstretching leather shoes, as this can distort their shape and cause permanent damage.
Do not neglect conditioning your leather shoes. Regular conditioning keeps the leather supple and prevents cracking.
Avoid storing leather shoes in humid or damp environments. Store them in a cool, dry place with proper ventilation, and use shoe trees to maintain their shape.
