How to care for your special shoes

Shoes are elegant accessories which we use in our daily lives. People wear different types of shoes for casual and formal events. Caring for the shoes is equally important as wearing them. Caring for shoes not only requires keeping their looks good but also to increase their lifetime. Special shoes that are branded are usually purchased for special events and need special care. Let us discuss how you can care for your shoes.

The first option is to use a tree for contracting the shoes. When you wear shoes along with the tree they get back to their original size and shape. They absorb the moisture from the shoes and leave them dry and contract. A single shoe tree is enough for a pair of shoes. It will take on for two hours to regain the shape of the shoes.


Second care tip is to repair your shoes when needed. Most of the shoes that are used daily have dust stored on them. Your shoes may lose their heels due to excessive. If the upper part of shoes perfect then give them to a shoemaker to repair the heels and sole. This will increase the overall usage time of the shoes.


Shoe caring involves also removing blemishes and stains and covering up the gaps that are created after doing this. You can use a soft brush or a cloth to remove all the dirt. Suede shoes require a special brush that removes stains and restores the original looks of the shoes. Never put your shoes in the cupboard dirty, always clean those after you have worn them.


Leather shoes need special care to clean them. You need to remove the dirt from them and then polish them with the appropriate creams and paints specialized for leather shoes. They need to be cleaned every week and be polished to restore their original looks.

The manicure – strengthened, nourished, perfect

The manicure requires continuous cares to be always in top shape. It is not enough just to apply and to remove the varnish. Nails and cuticles want special protection and nourishment.

Manicure according to the shape of the hand

If your hands are wide and the fingers flattened, your manicure must be elongated, but never pointed. If you have long arms with fine fingers you can give your nails any shape you want, everything will look good. Just do not file off too much the edges in order to not start breaking easily. Brittle nails should have a square shape, slightly rounded at the corners. Keep them as short as possible to recover their strength. If you do not have this problem, file them depending on the shape of the hand. You should know that filing of the nails is always in the direction – from the outside to the inside of the nail. Cuticles are removed after you have soaked your hands for 5 minutes in warm soapy water.

The nail polish remover – beware of it

Polish itself is not so harmful to the nails. Much more dangerous is the nail polish remover. Therefore select such which are without acetone and are supplemented with vitamins. But even the lightest removers destroy the surface of the nail.

The strength is in the base

For nothing in the world do not save yourself the base coat of nail polish. It increases the strength and protects the nails from yellowing.

Final touches to the manicure

Never leave the varnish to start peeling off. Renew it once or twice a week. Clean it entirely because the “patchwork” on the manicure is visible and ugly. Do not leave your nails “naked”. Put at least colorless nail polish – thus your hands will look maintained. After the decorative, apply a top coat which protects from the effects of water and scouring agents, and contributes to the greater durability of the manicure.
