Helpful Tips for Taking Care of Your Leather Clog Sandals

We have all experienced that stinging heartache when our favorite footwear becomes unwearable because of a nasty scratch. Or the agony we feel – physical as well as a little emotional – when a beautiful pair of sandals that we ordered turns out to be unbearably tough to wear. Similar issues can come affront with leather clog sandals if you don’t take proper care measures.

All new clog’s leather seems hard at first – no need to get alarmed – after wearing them a couple of times, the leather will soften and adjust with your feet perfectly. But if you take good care of your leather clogs then you can surely continue wearing them for a long time. Following are a few tips with which you can take care of your beloved leather clogs:

Know the Type of Leather the Clog is made of

If your clog’s leather has a shiny or matt finish – a smooth finish to be precise – then you can easily clean it by using a damp cloth. Try not to rub vigorously, gently wipe clean any dirt that’s visible on your clogs. If cleaning with a damp cloth doesn’t work then try to wipe it off with a mix of soap and water.

If the clogs are covered by nubuck leather, you can use a soft brush (or suede brush) to brush off any dirt that’s on the surface. Another thing you can do to protect them from getting dirty is, use a nubuck & suede protection spray – but keep in mind, this trick works on brand new clogs.

Stay Clear of Water

This one’s a no-brainer, but one we often forget – leather and water aren’t a good match. So try to steer clear of liquids if you don’t want them ruined. Make sure that you don’t put on leather clogs as soon as you step out of the shower or if your feet are sweaty. And if the leather does get wet for some reason (surprise rains or the sprinklers go off), don’t panic. Leave your leather clog sandals on their side to dry out.
