The biggest threat to any leather shoes is repeated wet and dry. When your shoes get wet, you should never accelerate the drying process and allow the shoes to dry naturally on their own. Never use hair dryers, shoe driers or placing over or next to a heat source. This will dry out the leather and leave it hard and brittle.
Instead, remove the insoles then place paper (paper towels or newspaper) inside the shoes then leave them in an open space at room temperature and allow them to dry on their own. After shoes are dry, we recommend applying the appropriate moisturizer such as leather shoe lotion, leather oil or leather dressing.
