Fit & Care

Stacy Adams shoes are handcrafted with the goal of craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Here are a few tips that will help ensure your shoes and boots stick around for a long while:

• Tip 1: Pretreat your shoes for all-weather protection and clean/polish your shoes frequently

Buy a specialized protectant spray for all-weather protection before wearing your shoes out of the house. Use a shoe brush or a microfiber cloth to give your shoes a quick clean frequently after wearing. This will prevent dirt or grime from being ground into the leather over time. Keep up with regular maintenance, like polishing leather shoes, to keep them looking good as new.

• Tip 2: Don't leave them in the sunlight

Direct sunlight and high heat can cause dry rot and crumble leather, so store your shoes in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

• Tip 3: The shoe horn, an essential tool

A shoe horn should always be used when slipping on your shoes. A shoe horn allows to easily slip on your shoes without damaging the heel counter.

• Tip 4: Air them out at the end of the day

After a long day, let your shoes breathe. Perspiration is absorbed by the insole during your day. Give any moisture time to evaporate before putting in shoe trees. If they are wet from inclement weather, stuff them with newspaper and let them air out in a cool, dry place.

• Tip 5: Invest in shoetrees

Shoetrees preserve the shape of your shoes. Made of cedar, they erase odors and absorb moisture.

• Tip 6: Don't wear the same pair of shoes everyday

To maintain their shape and extend their life, don't wear the same pair of shoes every day.
