Shoe Care – Guido Maggi

Made to last

GuidoMaggi luxury elevator shoes are handmade by our craftsmen. Each pair is unique because worked manually with commitment and patience. That's why you can also rely on us for all the information you need for the leather shoe care. We know well the fine materials we use to make our shoes to perfection, and our craftsmen know how to work them to maximise aesthetics and durability.

At GuidoMaggi we use the highest quality materials and fabrics that are the result of careful research to guarantee our customers exclusive luxury shoes. These materials, if carefully preserved and cleaned, can last a very long time.

Leather shoes care and preservation

Our shoes are extraordinarily durable, but can suffer irreversible deterioration if they come into contact with:

Solvents or abrasive materials

Materials that could release coloured pigments

Rough or sharp surfaces

Prolonged exposure to high levels of humidity can also alter their appearance. We therefore recommend that you store your shoes in a cool, dry place in the bag in which they were delivered to you.

Our soles are made of 100% Italian leather, a valuable and resistant material that is normally subject to wear following prolonged use. The deterioration of the sole is part of the natural process of using a leather shoe.

We trust the quality of our shoes so much that we offer you a free repair service.

Leather shoe cleaning

Each material is different and requires small steps for a proper but gentle cleaning. Follow these simple instructions to preserve the integrity of your GuidoMaggi shoes.

Full-grain leather

A natural material that is very durable but needs proper care. Despite popular belief, its cleaning is simple and requires no special products.

How to clean

Make sure the shoe is dry and that there are no external elements that could scratch the upper, such as gravel or sand. Use a clean woollen cloth and make light, circular movements without rubbing. Avoid coloured creams or cleansing milk, brushes or wet cloths.

Suede leather

A very porous natural material, which easily absorbs the liquids it comes into contact with.

How to clean

Make sure the shoe is dry. Use a brush with soft bristles and gently follow the direction of the hair. Avoid water, solvents and abrasive materials, stiff brushes, heat sources or vigorous brushing.

Tuscan nappa leather

A natural material characterised by remarkable porosity, elasticity and softness.

How to clean

Check that the shoe is dry. If there are no obvious stains, use a clean microfibre cloth with light, circular movements. For stains, contact a specialised professional. Avoid coloured creams, wet cloths, heat sources and prolonged exposure to natural light.
