Wipe wet shoes and lay them on their sides to dry in an airy place AWAY FROM DIRECT HEAT
CLEAN REGULARLY
RUB POLISH WELL IN to prevent cracking
Always remove mud from heavy work boots and dubbin both soles and uppers.
Wear shoes on alternate days - this rests the leather.
Keep shoes on shoe trees - but never put trees in wet shoes or they will stretch - stuff them with paper instead.
Keep goloshes and rubber shoes in a cool dark place.
Remember sunlight, grease, soap and petrol all help to perish rubber.
New or newly repaired shoes should be worn first on a dry day.
Rundown heels throw shoes out of balance. Have them mended in time. Take the advice of your repairer. Never let wooden soled shoes wear
down to the wood.
