Belvedere Shoes - How to Care For Them

Whether you just bought your first pair of Belvedere's Shoes or have been wearing them for years, do you know how to properly take care of them? Belvedere Shoes as anyone should know are made of fine quality exotic skin leather like crocodile,alligator and lizard and need to be properly taken care of. You don't have to treat them like they are delicate, just take care of them the way you would take care of a nice new Mercedes. You don't need to baby them either. Remember that the skin on a pair of Belvedere Shoes comes from an animal that would eat us if they could. The first thing you should do when you get a new pair of Belvedere Shoes is to polish them with a neutral color wax shoe polish. Don't use color polish on Exotic skin shoes like Belvedere because you don't want to stain the color that they were dyed at the factory. Why, because you want to give your new Belvedere Shoes an extra layer of dirt and water-repellent protection that the factory doesn't give. They just give a very light once over with a liquid type spray wax but what your new Belvedere Shoes crave is good quality polish. Now you should have a shoe shine kit whether it's in an old shoe box like me or one of those boxes designed with the footstep.

You want to have all types of colors of shoe polishes as well as old toothbrushes to apply the polish, rags, and also a couple of horsehair shoe brushes to buff out the shoes.

So first you apply the polish. Make sure you get it into those nooks and crannies. You don't want to put it on too thick though because that will just make it harder to remove after. Now after you've applied the polish to your new Belvedere Shoes, let them sit a couple of minutes to let the polish settle into the leather. Now grab your shoe brush and buff the daylights out of it, back forth and side to side, etc until you start to a see pair of Belvedere Shoes that you didn't see before. Bang, do the other shoes and you're done. Wow, that is what I call a good pair of Belvedere Shoes. Now you can wear them. After you're done wearing them for the day, if they get a little dirty, make sure you wipe them down with a slightly damp rag and immediately stuff them with cedar shoe trees to absorb all the moisture and get them back into shape for next time. If you follow these simple instructions, I guarantee that your new Belvedere Shoes will look newer and longer and last much longer.
