Love your footwear for longer...

 We consider every aspect when it comes to creating your favourite Kathryn Wilson footwear. From the design room, colours, textures, to wear testing, we create durable and long lasting footwear for you to love

Sometimes daily life can affect the lifespan of your beloved shoes. We have put together an ideal care guide so you can love your footwear for longer!

 

Get to know your foot wear 

It’s important to identify what material your shoes outer is to ensure you are giving it the right care so you can love your shoes for longer

The majority of our footwear is made from leather which is a natural, durable and breathable material perfect to protect you from the elements. Sometimes leather can be firm against the foot when new, however after a little love it will soften up nicely so you can keep chic and comfortable...

 

Leather can come in all different finishes and styles, so let’s learn how to care for them...

Pebbled leather – Is best cared for with a gel or cream polish every two to three weeks to condition the surface and ensure the leather is keeping nourished

 

Suede/Nubuck – We recommend spraying your suede shoes with a quality waterproofing spray every wear to keep them protected from weather and spills

 

Calf Hair – A stunning, yet delicate surface that can bald if scuffed. The best way to keep it looking fresh is taking care when wearing and regularly spray to keep protected

 

Patent – Patent is already waterproof - yay! However due to the nature of its coating we recommend a deeper patent specific polish to ensure the leather underneath is staying hydrated to prevent cracking

 

The basics... in 4 easy steps...

 – Care before you wear

 

 – Keep them clean

 

 – Nourish

 

 – Storage
