A pair of quality leather shoes require quality care too. Take note of these steps to preserve your andanté shoes for the years to come.
Storage
Keep your shoes in a climate-controlled environment. Avoid contact with direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. Use a shoe tree or acid-free paper to hold the leather shoe in its proper shape.
Cleaning and Polishing
Wet Shoes and Waterproofing
If your leather shoes get in contact with water, towel dry right away. Stuff the inside of your shoes with newspaper or a towel to absorb water residue. For added protection, you can use a waterproofing spray to create a barrier in case it gets in contact with water.

Add Sole Protectors
Using the shoes for daily commute or travel? Consider adding sole protectors. These thin rubber layers are discreetly applied to the bottom of your shoes to reduce wear, improve traction, and protect the original soles from damage.
Find A Local Cobbler
While the leathers we use are crafted for long-term wear, frequent use can lead to natural scuffs, creasing, or scratches over time. That’s where a trusted cobbler comes in. From refinishing leather to tightening straps or soles, a skilled specialist can breathe new life into your pair and help you keep them for years to come.
Repair Service
Depending on the damage, we offer repair service on our products. Please contact us and we will see if your pair is a good fit for restoration or repairs (repair and shipping fees may apply).
