Caring for Your Mastro Shoes
Preserve Their Elegance and Longevity
At Mastro, we believe that the longevity and beauty of your shoes are a testament to the craftsmanship that goes into each pair. With proper care, your Mastro Shoes can maintain their elegance and comfort for years to come. Below are our expert tips to help you preserve the quality and extend the life of your footwear.
Cleaning Your Shoes
Keep Them Looking Fresh
- LEATHER SHOES:
Gently wipe your leather shoes with a soft, dry cloth to remove any surface dust or dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Avoid using excessive water, as it can damage the leather. - SUEDE SHOES:
Use a suede brush to gently lift away dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specially formulated suede cleaner. Avoid getting suede excessively wet. - FABRIC SHOES
Spot clean fabric shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water and let them air dry naturally.
Polishing and Conditioning
Maintain Their Shine and Softness
LEATHER SHOES:
Regularly apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and supple. After conditioning, use a neutral or color-matching shoe polish to restore the shine. Buff with a soft cloth for a polished finish.
SUEDE SHOES:
Suede should not be polished. Instead, maintain its texture by brushing with a suede brush and using a protective suede spray to guard against water and stains.
Storage Tips
Store Them Right
USE SHOE TREES:
Insert cedar shoe trees into your leather shoes when not in use. This helps maintain their shape, absorb moisture, and prevent creases.
KEEP AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT:
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading and drying out of the leather.
USE DUST BAGS:
Store your shoes in the provided dust bags to protect them from dust and light exposure when not in use.
Waterproofing
Protect Against the Elements
LEATHER AND SUEDE SHOES:
Apply a waterproofing spray to your shoes before wearing them in wet conditions. This creates a protective barrier against water and stains. Be sure to reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
Dealing with Wear and Tear
Refresh and Renew
- SCUFFS AND SCRACHES:
For minor scuffs on leather shoes, use a matching shoe polish to cover the marks. For deeper scratches, consult a professional cobbler. - SOLO MAINTENANCE:
If the soles begin to wear down, it’s best to have them replaced by a professional cobbler to extend the life of your shoes. - HEEL CARE:
Regularly check the heels for wear and have them repaired or replaced when necessary to avoid damage to the structure of the shoe.
Professional Care
When to See a Cobbler
For more extensive repairs or deep cleaning, we recommend taking your Mastro Shoes to a professional cobbler. They can expertly handle tasks like resoling, repairing damaged areas, or restoring the original finish of your shoes.
