Waxy Leather

Routine Maintenance

To maintain your waxy leather shoes:

  • As with any leather shoe, start by dusting them with a polishing cloth. Be gentle and patient to avoid removing surface wax.
  • If you notice a stain, moisten your polishing cloth and rub gently with your index finger. Don't get the leather too wet or you'll get a water stain!
  • Waterproof your leather. Even if it is supposed to be more water resistant, it remains porous, like all leathers.

Properties of Waxy Leather

A waxy leather is a leather impregnated with wax.

Methods differ but they all have the same basis: the hide absorbs a mixture of wax and oil to take on their waterproof properties.

These treatments offer many advantages: not only is the leather less prone to deformation thanks to the wax, but it is also more resistant to water and stains thanks to the oil. Some superficial scratches can even be blended into the leather by simply rubbing the surface protected by the wax!

Like oily leathers, waxy leather has a deep and unique patina.
