Knowledge Of Leather Maintenance

Leather shoes are mainly made of animal leather, and cowhide and sheepskin are most common.

However, due to the different processing technology and divided into several different characteristics of leather, the specific maintenance methods are also different.

Below are several common leather materials and maintenance methods:

Features: calf skin and black faced cowhide are produced in Italy.

The coating on the surface of the cowhide is made of resin chemical material, and pearlescent powder or metal powder is added into the resin, so that the surface of the skin is glittering.

The characteristics of black leather are the same as that of buffalo hide, but the surface coating is different.

Maintenance: it is best not to wear below 5 degrees centigrade, and wear the best temperature above 10 degrees. This kind of temperature coating is not easy to crack; surface maintenance is best to use colourless high-grade shoe milk, and can not be maintained by brightening agent products, otherwise it will cause false coating to fall off.

Characteristics: wrinkled lacquer is produced in Italy, and is popular in countries such as Europe and America.

In the tanning process, the skin is soft and then drenched. The wrinkles are broken and tempered glass, and the skin is soft and not damaged.

Maintenance: wrinkle lacquer is made of neutral resin paint, so it is not easy to fade. The surface is not easy to absorb water. It is easy to maintain. It can be cleaned with clean wet cloth and soft fabric. It can not be maintained with brighteners or shoes, because the brightening agent will cause the false coating to drop off, and the shoe will make the upper shoe black.

Characteristics: the sheepskin is also called two color leather, produced in Spain.

Two color effect refers to its skin pattern, such as marble, ripples like water, especially the products made to release the beauty of nature. No matter which angle it looks, it makes people memorable.

Maintenance: the method is relatively easy. Better shoes and cream can be used.

Features: water stained leather and wax leather are produced in Spain and India. The surface of the wax is not decorated but only dyed. After polished with water, the skin is clear, three-dimensional and smooth.

Maintenance: water dyed skin and dried calf skin are uncoated leather, easy to absorb water and stains, and color is more prominent. When wearing, avoid water stains or other stains, keep the vamp clean and not rain.

Features: the snake skin is originally produced in Italy. It is made of printing and coating technology, and then painted and embossed into snake scales.

At present, there are two kinds of serpentine leather and snake skin sheepskin.

Maintenance: it is easier to maintain, use shoe milk and leather brightener to maintain and prevent hard changes.

Characteristics: ostrich cowhide originates in Italy, and it is a pattern of ostrich skin pattern embossed by cowhide.

The ostrich skin pattern is unique and strong in three-dimensional sense, but its cortex is thin and its extension is poor.

Maintenance: ostrich hide has no coating on the surface. Leather making process is similar to that of waxing skin.
