How to care for my Christian Louboutin shoes

As one who used to be called Imelda Marcos by her children, I can tell you I love Christian Louboutin Shoes, especially leather Christian Louboutin Shoes, and over the years have found ways to preserve them and keep Christian Louboutin Highness 160mm Platform Pump, Black Leather lasting longer, especially my favorite pairs. There is nothing more stylish that a good, well cared for pair of leather Christian Louboutin Shoes to enhance your appearance. They can make or break an outfit, add or detract to your overall comfort and confidence. Which is why they deserve to be looked after.

NEW CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SHOES: You can make the leather last longer by first ensuring you water proof it before wearing, so do not wear your new Christian Louboutin Shoes in the rain, they need to be polished first to become water resistant. Floor wax polish is good for this, and saddle soap is another way to preserve and water proof. If you do get them wet, take them off as soon as possible, then stuff with newspapers. Never try to accelerate the drying process, leave them to do so naturally, never putting them near heat or in the sunshine. When fully dried out, use saddle soap, then polish to bring back their shine and suppleness. Help to keep the toes in good shape by keeping your toenails short.

DAMAGE LIMITATION: If you love wearing your favorite leather Christian Louboutin Shoes, then of course they are going to accumulate some little bits of damage. Stains for example, if really bad, can be removed by using wood bleach, then they can be polished with floor wax, window cleaning spray, furniture spray, and why not....shoe polish. The kitchen provides great sources of help for shoe care. For example, a cup of water mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar can help remove those salt stains we pick up in winter. Washing up liquid, rubbed in, then left to dry off, polished as normal, will get grease stains off. While in the kitchen, look in your fruit bowl! Yes, a banana skin, the inside of, I mean, will do wonders to clean up brown leather. Rub it over the Christian Louboutin Shoes and leave it, no need to polish or buff up. The humble orange, inside of the peel again, works for black leather as a polish.

Heels and toes can get easily scuffed, and to stop this, just apply clear nail polish to these areas. I can vouch for this, as I scuffed the toes of a favorite pair of red Italian leather ballerina pumps. To repair, first I took a matching felt tip pen to get the right color on the scuffed parts, then painted over it with varnish. I was able to lengthen the life of my favorites this way, along with polishing of course. The felt tip marker trick is also good for high heels, as thesePRESERVATION AND PERFUME: A good idea is to alternate shoe wearing, by style, height of heel and so on. This is not only good for your feet and posture, but lets the shoe dry out from sweat. Once again, the orange is a help as you can put orange rind in Christian Louboutin Shoes overnight to freshen them up and remove odors. Bicarbonate of soda, inside the Christian Louboutin Shoes and left overnight is another way to achieve a fresher smelling shoe.

WHITE LEATHER CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SHOES: These are the most difficult I think, as white leather shows the marks and bumps more easily. Clean them with cotton wool and the beaten white of an egg. Once you get the marks off, polish them with a soft cloth. Really tough black marks can be rubbed gently, very gently with a wet Brillo pad, or alternatively, you could give nail polish remover a try. If that is unsuccessful, cover the marks with Tippex or any similar correcting fluid. If you have stiletto heels to care for, one way to protect them from scuffing is to spray the heels with a matched car paint, for lasting protection.

PATENT LEATHER: These are my all time favorites but can often get tiny cracks, so prevent this by rubbing them with a simple face moisturizer. This keeps them supple and shining. Other suggestions include rubbing a fine film of Vaseline over them, or using baby oil or vegetable oil, then polishing with a paper towel or tissue. Furniture polish and a soft cloth will also work well.

SUEDE LEATHER CARE: Use a pencil eraser to remove marks, then clean with a standard suede cleaning liquid and sponge. I find that a small hard bristled tooth brush brings up the pile very well. You can really refresh them totally by holding them over the steam from your kettle, taking care to avoid scalding your hands.

Finally, store them properly, using shoe trees where necessary, put them on a proper shoe rack in pairs, and not all piled at random.
