Shoe Care - Caring for Calfskin Shoes

bjbj Proper care for your Allen Edmonds, including our Classic Strand in Walnut, begins by removing dirt and residue from the upper using a cotton flannel cloth. This helps to prepare the natural calfskin and also prevents any abrasion from occurring during that process. You can apply some of Allen Edmonds Conditioner Cleaner, wiping it in the area of concentrated dirt. This removes the dirt and this material also dries relatively quickly so that you can move on to the polishing process. Allen Edmonds Premium Shoe Polish is specially formulated to color match each of our different colors of calfskin. In this case, we are going to use our walnut premium polish. This is applied by simply squeezing on the tube, and then you use the self-applicating sponge to thoroughly and completely cover the upper with polish. t be concerned at this point about excess polish building up in the perfing of the upper on the upper as we will demonstrate later how to remove that. This material dries relatively quickly, so we can begin the buffing process. First to remove those excess areas of polish a stencil dauber has a horse hair another natural material so that you do not have any abrasive action occurring. The same stencil dauber can be run along the welt line of the shoe removing any excess polish or dirt that might be built up. Now we're ready to being the buffing process. Again, using a cotton flannel cloth, wipe the premium polish from the upper. Because the calfskin is a natural material, there is a fiber content that remains present even after the shoes have been handcrafted. To achieve a higher sheen, we're going to use our horsehair brush and actually raise that fiber. This will allow us to make a final pass with our cotton flannel cloth and achieve an even higher shine. Lastly, we'll apply at the heel and sole edge dressing to the welt and heel base. This restores color and serves as a protector. This material will dry naturally on it s own or excess can be removed using a cotton flannel cloth. And at this point, your Strands are ready for the next board meeting.
