A loving gesture for your shoes: give them the attention they deserve

February, the month of love par excellence. What if, this year, in addition to cherishing those around you, you also gave a little love to your shoes? These faithful companions who accompany you every day deserve a moment of attention!

Caring for your shoes is more than just a matter of practicality: it's a ritual, a mark of respect for pieces that enhance your look and accompany you every day.

Give your shoes responsible care

A beautiful shoe, however noble it may be, will not last the years if neglected. To enhance its beauty and prolong its life, adopt the right habits:

- Clean and moisturize : forget about over-polishing! Nourishing cream is your best ally for keeping your leather supple and preventing cracking.

- Adopt natural skincare : choose eco-friendly products and avoid unnecessary chemicals. A gentle cleansing milk, a horsehair brush, and quality shoe polish are all you need.

- Do it with love and regularity : for a pair that you wear often, cleaning every two weeks is ideal.

Every action counts

Caring for your shoes isn't just about their appearance. Taking care of the little details makes all the difference:

  • Wash or change your laces for a flawless look.

  • Air out your shoes and use shoe trees to maintain their shape.

  • Watch your soles: a damaged sole can affect your posture and the elegance of your figure.

A conscious and responsible approach

Beyond maintenance, choosing shoes made with an ethical approach is a real commitment.

At humaya, we have chosen to give a second life to dormant leather stocks, thus reducing the environmental impact while creating models that are both refined and sustainable.

How often should you polish your shoes?

Whether to extend their lifespan or ensure they always look impeccable, we recommend polishing the shoes you wear regularly about once a week.

For more formal, more casually worn shoes, consider polishing them after each use. A simple buff before putting them on is enough to restore their shine.
