Additional care, wearing, and cleaning tips for your RŌSHI men's shoes

Additional care tips for your handmade RŌSHI men's shoes

1. Shoe rotation
Wear each pair of shoes for a day or two in a row, then give them a break and switch to another pair. Depending on the weather and occasion, consider the style and material. For example, avoid wearing crepe soles in winter and high-quality leather shoes during heavy rain or snowfall.

2. Storage of leather shoes
Use wooden shoe trees to help retain shape and wick away moisture. Use the trees for only a few hours, no longer. Wear your shoes for a day or two in a row and then let them rest.

3. Water protection
Particularly sensitive leathers such as aniline or suede should be treated regularly with waterproofing spray. Spray the waterproofing spray onto the shoes approximately every 4-6 weeks from a distance of about 30 cm, taking care not to over-wet them.

4. Maintenance intervals
Care for your leather shoes approximately every 4-6 weeks if you use them regularly and as needed if you use them less frequently.

5. Basic care
For normal street dirt, you should brush your shoes or wipe them with a dry cotton or microfiber cloth, then freshen them up with the appropriate care product depending on the level of dirt and the material. You can get more information via the RŌSHI newsletter or on the blog.

4. Polishing and shine
Smooth leather benefits from regular polishing to maintain its shine. Use a soft brush or polishing cloth.

5. Resoling Goodyear Welted Shoes
Goodyear welted shoes can easily be resoled, which significantly extends their lifespan. It's best to choose a skilled shoemaker to resol your shoes for you.
