Cleaning:

1. Remove Dirt and Debris: Before cleaning, gently remove any loose dirt or debris from the surface of your shoes using a soft brush or a damp cloth.
 2. Use a Mild Cleaner: For light stains or general cleaning, use a mild, pH-balanced leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean, damp cloth and gently rub the surface of the shoes in a circular motion. 
3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth or sponge soaked in a solution of water and mild soap. Blot the stained area, avoiding excessive rubbing to prevent damage to the leather.

Conditioning:

1. Choose a Quality Leather Conditioner: Use a high-quality leather conditioner to moisturize and nourish the leather. Apply the conditioner evenly to the entire shoe using a clean, soft cloth. This helps prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.
 2. Apply Sparingly: Avoid over-conditioning by applying the product sparingly. Excess conditioner can lead to a greasy or sticky feel and may attract dirt.
 3. Allow Time to Absorb: Allow the leather to absorb the conditioner for a few hours or overnight before wearing the shoes. This gives the leather time to soak in the moisturizing properties of the conditioner

Protection:

1.Waterproofing: Consider applying a water repellent or waterproofing spray to protect your leather shoes from water damage and stains. Make sure to reapply the spray periodically, especially after cleaning.
 2. Avoid Extreme Conditions: Keep your leather shoes away from extreme heat and direct sunlight, as these conditions can cause the leather to dry out and lose its natural oils

Storage:

1. Use Shoe Trees: Insert shoe trees into your leather shoes when not in use. Shoe trees help maintain the shoe's shape, absorb moisture, and reduce the risk of creasing.
 2. Allow Air Circulation: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or airtight containers, as this can trap moisture and lead to mildew.

Additional Tips:
