The Perfect Maintenance Guide

Strong and naturally water-resistant, waxed leather protects against rain and salt water—ideal for boat shoes and everyday wear. However, it still needs maintenance to prevent dryness and salt stains. Waxed leather is water-resistant, not fully waterproof.

Step 1. Shape

Insert cedar shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture.

Step 2. Cleaning

Remove dust and dirt with a soft brush. After use — especially near the sea — wipe with a soft cloth and fresh water to remove salt and sand. Avoid harsh detergents.

Step 3. Conditioning

When the leather looks dull or dry, apply a small amount of nourishing cream for waxed leather with a soft cloth using circular motions.

Step 4. Protection

Finish with a dedicated waterproof spray to protect against water and stains. Reapply regularly, especially in humid conditions.
