To leave your split leather sandals perfect, you should brush the hair, always in the same direction and without applying any water.
Finally, clean the sole of your sandals. The following year they will be as good as new and with a good smell.
Your future self will thank you!
2_ How to keep them?
How many times have you taken out last year's shoes and they were shaped like anything but shoes?In the long run, this causes the leather to deform and they are not as comfortable as usual. Sandals have to have their own space.
The best way to solve this problem is to store them in the same way they came when you first got them.
Take newspaper or magazines that are no longer useful and stuff the sandals so that, when you store them, they don't lose their original shape.
