Learning how to clean leather shoes isn't an art or a chore. It's not something you need to do every day just every so often to keep your shoes in their best condition. Suede, on the other hand, is a little more high maintenance so we've catered for those too!

And if that wasn’t enough, this magic spray from Furniture Clinic feeds and nourishes the leather to keep it looking fresh as well.
