Caring for Dack’s Custom
Grade Shoes
When people think of shoe care, polishing first comes to
mind. However, using shoe trees is the most important thing
one can do to maintain a good pair of leather-lined shoes.
Wooden shoe trees made of an absorbent wood such as cedar
should be inserted into the shoe immediately following every
wearing.
The tree will absorb perspiration from the lining of the
shoe, keeping it from cracking while helping to reduce the
creasing of the upper. Using shoe trees on a daily basis
will make shoes look and feel better, reduce odour and
increase longevity.
Polishing on a regular basis is also important. Most Dack’s
Custom Grade shoes are made from leathers which do not
require special care; any good wax or cream polish will
work. Shoes should be wiped clean before polishing. Leather
cleaner or conditioner can also be used occasionally to keep
the leather flexible. The most important part of leather
care is to prevent the leather from losing its natural oils.
These oils, which can be replenished by polishing, are the
key to leather's flexibility and strength.
Owing to our strong devotion
to quality, we are very particular about the leathers we
use. Only the finest grades of leather are selected
for the crafting process. We honestly believe that our
attention to detail allows us to produce the finest leather
shoes you'll find anywhere at any price.
All of the leathers that are used in our shoes are
authorized for such use under the convention on the
International Trade in Endangered species.
