1. Horsehair Brush
A horsehair brush is a fundamental tool for shoe maintenance. Made with natural bristles, these brushes delicately remove dirt, dust, and debris from shoe surfaces without causing damage. It's recommended to have separate brushes for dark and light-coloured shoes to prevent accidental colour transfer.

Seamless Bespoke Shoe Trees, Retail Price: $68
5. Shoe Trees
Shoe trees are essential for maintaining shoe shape and structure. Crafted from natural cedar wood, these shoe trees absorb moisture, preventing leather from cracking, wrinkling, and odors. Insert cedar shoe trees into footwear after wear to allow them to dry naturally and retain their original form. Our Seamless Bespoke shoe trees are developed to fit well with most ready-to-wear footwear brands, providing a superior fit compared to generic ones on the market. They fill the instep, forefoot, and heel perfectly, effectively pushing out creases and straightening the sole.
6. A Tip to share
When using shoe cream and wax polish, it's crucial to allow sufficient time for water content to evaporate. Both products contain water, which needs time to dry and leave behind only oils and waxes on the leather surface. This drying period ensures that water does not become trapped beneath layers of wax, which could potentially harm the leather over time. Take your time during the application process—wait longer than 5-10 minutes if necessary—before brushing to achieve optimal results.
