How to care for the Grisport Eskdale Walking shoe?
- Preparation: Take the footbed out, so it can dry out. If you also want to wax your shoes, take out the laces.
- Cleaning: Remove the worst of the dirt under running water with a brush; also remove dirt and stones from the sole.
- Hygiene: To improve the odour of your walking shoes, clean the inside of your shoes with luke-warm water and a soft brush. This doesn’t hurt the lining.
- Drying: Never dry footwear in direct sunlight or on heat-generating units such as radiators or stoves. Wet leather is very sensitive to heat and “burns” easily (i.e. it becomes brittle and hard, and then gets cracked).
When the lining is wet, stuff shoes with newspaper (don’t forget to remove later!). Dry shoes keep their shape perfectly with wooden shoe trees. - Waxing: Leather needs regular “nutritional” waxing, as does GORE-TEX® lined footwear or the trim on cordura boots and shoes. Apply wax with a sponge or rag; don’t forget the tongues! Caution: Do not heat! Otherwise the wax penetrates too deeply, decreasing breathability and thus comfort. A beeswax product such as Meindl Sportwax is what we advise to treat this shoe.
- Tip for nubuck: Waxing changes the appearance. The leather gets smoother and darker, but this is a perfectly normal, harmless process! The leather is “fed” and the seams become more stable.
- Hooks and Eyelets: Protect against corrosion with wax or Vaseline. It can also be of benefit to remove the laces and rub a little wax on the laces with your fingers.
