Common Shoe Care Mistakes to Avoid


Using the wrong cleaning tools can damage your shoes. For example, scrubbing suede with a stiff brush often leaves permanent marks. Always match your cleaning method to the shoe material to prevent wear and discoloration.
Neglecting regular maintenance shortens shoe life. Skipping protective sprays or failing to dry shoes properly after cleaning can cause cracks and mold. Consistent care routines help preserve both appearance and durability.
