Style Guides

Protect your investment and keep your dress shoes looking pristine for years with our complete maintenance guide, from polishing to storage.

By Abe Ayad

Quality dress shoes are an investment worth protecting. With proper care, they can last decades.

Regular Cleaning

Wipe your shoes with a damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust.

Conditioning

Apply leather conditioner monthly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.

Polishing

A good polish not only shines but also adds a protective layer to the leather.

Storage

Always use cedar shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture.

From the Ground Up

Shoes finish every look: browse dress shoes, pair them in the Find Your Look journey, and either store can match them to your suit in person.
