First, when you pick up that piece of cleaning cloth and warm water, make sure your movements are gentle and delicate. Next, lightly apply a small amount of the special detergent to the cleaning cloth, a process that requires you to control the amount evenly, neither too much nor too little. Among them, you need to be careful not to use products that contain bleach or other strong detergents, as they can cause irreparable damage to your shoes.
The delicate texture of the special cleaner can penetrate into every corner of the shoe to remove stains and dirt one by one. The role of warm water is to help the detergent to perform its best role, and at the same time, it can also prevent the material of the shoe from being damaged by overheated water temperature. The entire cleaning process requires you to be careful and patient in order to ensure that your shoes look their original shine.
When you apply the cleaner, you can imagine yourself as a professional leather care therapist, taking care of your shoes with the gentlest force. And when the shoes are gradually clean again in your hands, that sense of accomplishment will make you feel that all the effort is worth it.

Because the tongue is in direct contact with the foot, if it is not cleaned thoroughly, it is easy to cause foot discomfort.
The steps to clean the insole can vary slightly depending on whether the insole is removable or not.

Secondly, wipe in the same direction to avoid expanding the scope of the stain.
