To use leather conditioner on shoes, apply a small drop to a cloth and spread it evenly across the entire leather surface.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Gather your materials: You'll need leather conditioner, a clean, soft cloth (microfiber is ideal), and your leather shoes.
- Clean the shoes: Before conditioning, wipe down your shoes with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Let them dry completely.
- Apply a small amount of conditioner: Put a very small drop of leather conditioner onto your clean cloth. Remember, a little goes a long way.
- Spread evenly: Gently rub the cloth onto the leather in a circular motion, spreading the conditioner evenly over the entire surface of the shoe.
- Allow absorption: Let the conditioner absorb into the leather for about 15-30 minutes.
- Buff the shoes: Use a clean part of your cloth (or a separate, clean cloth) to buff the shoes, removing any excess conditioner and bringing out the shine.
Using leather conditioner keeps your shoes supple, prevents cracking, and extends their lifespan.
