If the shoes get wet in the rain, stuff them with newspaper and let them dry at room temperature, never next to a fire or a heater. Leather shoes stay looking new for longer when they are cleaned often. Use a polish that matches the color of the leather and apply it thinly in small circles. After wearing them, wipe off the dust with a soft cloth and let the shoes rest for a day before wearing them again. For stubborn stains, a professional shoe cleaning service can clean them without damaging the leather. Keep the shoes in a dry place with wooden shoe trees so that they keep their shape.
