Weatherproof Your Shoes

Keep Your Shoes Looking Like New

Jamestown Shoe and Luggage Service wants you to know how to weatherproof your shoes and leather goods.  Water can damage or destroy your leather shoes and leather goods.  The best thing to do is to treat your shoes and leather goods with a quality product before exposing them to the elements.  Here are a few tips on how to weatherproof your items:

•    Make sure your purchase a product that is appropriate for your shoes or leather goods
•    Do a “patch” test to see if the color of your shoes or leather goods change due to the product
•    Generally, make sure you start with clean shoes and leather goods
•    Follow the directions on the product
•    Make sure you cover any decorations, jewels, embellishments on your shoes or leather goods so that they are not damaged
•    It is preferred to weatherproof your items when they are new

If your shoes get wet, make sure you dry them.  To do this, wipe them off with a dry towel and try and pull the water out of the inside of your shoe.  To pull the water out, place newspaper or papers towels in them.  Make sure you replace the newspaper or paper towels frequently.  Let them dry at room temperature.  It might be tempting to leave them near a heat source but if you dry leather shoes too quickly then they will crack.

Jamestown Shoe and Luggage Service repairs both shoes and leather goods.  We can repair soles, heels, tips, stitching, and more on men’s, women’s, and children’s’ shoes.  We can also stretch shoes and offer orthopedic shoe modifications.

We also repair leather goods such as purses, briefcases, and leather bags. We can replace zippers, buckles, straps, and more.  We also offer luggage repair.  We are an approved luggage repair shop for Travel Pro, Atlantic, Delsey, Victorinox (Swiss Army Luggage), Briggs and Riley, Ricardo, and Skyway.  We can service other manufacturers and luggage that is out of warranty.  Repairs such as replacing luggage wheels, zippers, zipper sliders, luggage feet, carry handles, and retractable handles are no problem.
