More from Loake 1880

Loake 1880 is the designation given to English brand Loake’s most premium collection with a particular focus on exclusive materials and superior quality. The 1880 collection is a continuation of the brand’s long tradition of creating handmade, welted shoes with an uncompromising attention to detail. In the year lending its name to the collection, Loake was founded in Kettering, England by brothers John, Thomas and William Loake, and has since produced over 50 million pairs of welted shoes.

Each pair of shoes from Loake 1880 takes eight weeks to produce, with every shoe made from the very best materials available using a Goodyear welted construction, a method involving the use of a welted seam.

<h2>General Advice</h2>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Use new shoes sparingly. Wear them for a couple of hours so they begin to adapt to the shape of your foot before allowing them to rest.<br /><br /></li>
<li>Avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row as each foot generates several centilitres of perspiration a day and our shoes need time to dry out fully. One day on, two days off is a good rule of thumb. Using a shoe tree is something we cannot recommend enough as they help your shoes to keep their shape while also helping to reduce moisture. Cedarwood models are ideal, but plastic shoe trees should be avoided as they tend to trap moisture in the shoe and do more harm than good.<br /><br /></li>
<li>Use a shoehorn when putting your shoes on. Using your fingers or just forcing your foot directly into the shoe risks damaging the backstay and heel.</li>
<li>Make sure to loosen the laces considerably when putting on or taking off your shoes, as this can significantly reduce the amount of wear and thereby extend their lifespan.<br /><br /></li>
<li>If your shoes should get particularly wet, avoid drying them using direct heat as this can cause the leather to split. Instead, fill them with newspaper to absorb the worst of the moisture before leaving them to dry at room temperature. Insert a shoe tree once dried to prevent them from becoming misshapen.<br /><br /></li>
<li>Be careful when walking longer distances over wet surfaces in leather-soled shoes as they cause significantly more wear compared to dry surfaces.</li>
<li>Finally, remember to clean, treat and waterproof your shoes regularly as this will considerably extend their life while giving them an elegant patina. Keep in mind that new shoes only come with rudimentary waterproofing and should therefore be properly waterproofed before wearing. When cleaning your shoes, don\'t forget any leather soles.</li>

<h2>Before You Start</h2>
</div>
<div>Taking your time and doing things in the right order is a major part of any shoe care routine - waiting for each care product to take effect is essential. In the worst case, rushing the process can cause discolouration and premature wear. So be patient, and follow the order suggested in this guide.<br /><em><br /></em>As a rule of thumb, most shoes will require some attention after around ten uses. Depending on how often you wear them, they may only need to be maintained once every two to three months, if that. Of course, this depends on the amount of shoes in your collection and how often you switch between them.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.careofcarl.com/dokument/bibliotek/Image/CARL_Magazine/CWC/Skovardsguiden-Sahar-tar-du-hand-om-dina-skor/skovard-2.jpg" alt="Brogues med skoblock i" width="890" height="650" /><br /><em>Before you start, it is always a good idea to insert a shoe tree.</em><br /><br />
<p>Whatever the material of your shoes, you should insert a shoe tree before beginning your shoe care routine. A shoe tree will press out creases that would otherwise make it difficult to evenly apply shoe care products and will also provide a more stable surface. Laces should also be removed prior to cleaning as they can easily get in the way.</p>
<p>After you have done this, use a brush to remove dust and other dirt from your shoes. This will remove loose dirt that could otherwise damage the leather or hinder the shoe care products from sufficiently penetrating the leather.</p>
<br />
<h2>Equipment</h2>
</div>
<div>
<p>The equipment you will need largely depends on what shoes you own. The equipment needed for each stage is indicated in the following sections.</p>
<p>One important thing to remember when buying shoe brushes is to not re-use the same brush with multiple care products. In particular, you should make sure to use a separate applicator brush for each cream and wax you plan to use, to avoid mixing colours or have two products cancel each other out from being mixed together on the brush. Polishing brushes can be used more flexibly – it is often enough to have one each for light brown, dark brown and black polish. The same principle applies to suede brushes where you will need a few different brushes for lighter and darker colours.</p>
<p>It is generally a good idea to place an old towel or apron over your knee when caring for your shoes as things may get sticky.<br /><br /><br /></p>
<h2 id="vard-av-lader">Caring for Leather</h2>
<p>Before you start, insert a shoe tree, and use a brush to remove dust and dirt. With this done, it is time to begin the shoe care process. As a general rule, shoes require care after about ten uses to keep them looking and feeling their best. In addition, it can also be a good idea to use a leather cleaner such as <a href="https://www.careofcarl.com/en/artiklar/saphir-medaille-dor-renovateur-suede-250-ml-spray-neutral.html"><em>Saphir Renovateur</em></a> every fifth or sixth time you clean and polish your shoes.</p>
<h3>Leather Cleaning</h3>
<em>Equipment</em>
<p>-Cleaning cream<br />-Applicator brush<br />-Polishing cloth</p>
<em>Instructions</em>
<p>The cleaning stage removes old, excess shoe cream. As a guide, it can be a good idea to clean your shoes in this way after every fourth or fifth polish, as shoe cream can accumulate on the leather and prevent new cream from permeating the material.<br />Use an applicator brush to apply a very thin layer of cleaner to the shoe – the total amount used per pair should be about the same size as a small coin. Upon applying the cleaner, your shoes will likely appear to become slightly darker, which is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Leave the cleaner to take effect for around five minutes before gently removing it with a cloth. You will soon notice that the cloth becomes dirty from excess shoe cream. To ensure all of the excess cream has been removed, use your forearm to check the shoe is completely dry. If it is, you can then move on to the next stage.</p>

<h3>Leather Care</h3>
<em>Equipment</em>
<p>-Shoe cream<br />-Applicator brush<br />-Polishing brush (horsehair works best)</p>
<em>Instructions</em>
<p>To give your shoes the best possible care, we recommend treating them with a protective shoe cream after every ten uses. For best results, we suggest <a href="/cgi-bin/ibutik/AIR_ibutik.fcgi?funk=steg_tva&limit=146">Saphir</a>\'s <a href="https://www.careofcarl.com/en/artiklar/saphir-medaille-dor-creme-pommadier-1925-75-ml-neutral.html"><em>Crème Pommadier 1925</em></a> as it protects the leather while restoring its lustre.<br />Begin by carefully dabbing a very small amount of cream onto the shoe with an applicator brush. The total amount used per pair should not exceed the size of a small coin. Be aware that <em>Crème Pommadier 1925</em> contains a relatively large percentage of pigment, and it is therefore important to use it very sparingly so as not to distort the original colour of your shoes. As with all shoe care, less is more.</p>
<p>Unpigmented shoe creams are also available, but these should be used with caution as repeated use can give your shoes a less than attractive grey tinge.</p>
<p>Once applied, you can begin to spread the cream using the applicator brush, ensuring an even layer over the whole shoe. Avoid circular motions and follow instead a figure of eight as this is easiest on the leather. Leave the cream for 2-5 minutes to take effect before gently brushing the shoes with a horsehair brush. When the shoes begin to look polished, you can increase the pressure somewhat to add a little more shine. Avoid repeatedly brushing the same area as brushing too hard may cause friction damage and dark spots on the leather.</p>
<p>When finished, the brush should be dry to the touch, provided you haven\'t used too much cream. If you want your shoes to have even more shine, you can then treat them with a wax, which we describe in the following section.</p>
<img src="https://www.careofcarl.com/dokument/bibliotek/Image/CARL_Magazine/CWC/Skovardsguiden-Sahar-tar-du-hand-om-dina-skor/varda-laderskor-7.jpg" alt="shoe-care" width="890" height="650" /> <em>Only a very small amount of cream is needed to get the best results, so use sparingly.</em><br /><img src="https://www.careofcarl.com/dokument/bibliotek/Image/CARL_Magazine/CWC/Skovardsguiden-Sahar-tar-du-hand-om-dina-skor/skokram-laderskor-8.jpg" alt="shoe-cream-leather" width="890" height="650" /> <em>Dab a small amount of cream onto the shoe before spreading it evenly with a brush.</em><br /><img src="https://www.careofcarl.com/dokument/bibliotek/Image/CARL_Magazine/CWC/Skovardsguiden-Sahar-tar-du-hand-om-dina-skor/laderskor-skotsel-9.jpg" alt="shoe-care" width="890" height="650" /> <em>Your shoes will appear somewhat matte after having applied the cream.

<h3>For a Little Extra Shine</h3>
<em>Equipment</em>
<p>-Wax<br />-Applicator brush<br />-Polishing brush (goatshair works best)</p>
<em>Instructions</em>
<p>To give your shoes that little bit more shine after using shoe cream, we recommend polishing them with a wax cream such as <a href="https://www.careofcarl.com/en/artiklar/saphir-medaille-dor-pate-de-lux-50-ml-neutral.html"><em>Pâte de Luxe</em></a> from Saphir. Since wax is primarily used for polishing, it does not offer much in the way of leather care. For this, a shoe cream such as <a href="https://www.careofcarl.com/en/artiklar/saphir-medaille-dor-creme-pommadier-1925-75-ml-neutral.html"><em>Crème Pommadier 1925</em></a> is a better option.</p>
<p>Start by brushing a thin layer of wax over the leather. When the polish begins to take effect, you will notice that your shoe takes on a slightly greyish appearance. Leave the wax to work for at least five minutes, sometimes it can even be left on overnight. Gently brush the shoe, preferably with a goatshair brush as this will result in the best shine. A nylon sock or horsehair brush can also be used but without giving the quite the same polished look.</p>
<p>Wax can even be used to add extra shine to the sides of the sole.</p>

<h2 id="vard-av-mocka-nubuck">Caring for Suede and Nubuck</h2>
<p>It is a common misconception that suede is harder to maintain than other materials. In fact, both suede and nubuck are some of the easiest materials to look after. In very general terms, a pair of suede or nubuck shoes will only need to be treated around once a month with a suede protector spray. This can be complemented by a more thorough cleaning once a year or even less, depending on the model. We recommend that you clean your suede shoes and then waterproof them with a renovateur spray.</p>
<a href="https://www.careofcarl.com/en/carlmagazine/guides-3/shoe-care-caring-for-suede-and-nubuck.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="suede care"><em>See our step-by-step-guide on how to care for suede shoes here</em></a><br /><br /><img src="https://careofcarl.com/dokument/bibliotek/Image/CARL_Magazine/Stil/2015/20151110-Skovardsguiden/2-22-rengjorda-mockaskor.jpg" alt="Rengjorda mockaskor redo för att impregneras" width="890" height="600" /><br /><br />
<h2 id="vard-av-textil">Caring for Fabric Shoes</h2>
<p>The care of fabric shoes is largely similar to that of suede. They can be cleaned using a product such as Saphir’s <em><a href="https://www.careofcarl.com/en/artiklar/saphir-medaille-dor-omninettoyant-cleaner-neutral.html">Omni’Nettoyant</a></em> and then waterproofed using neutral (unpigmented) <a href="https://www.careofcarl.com/en/artiklar/saphir-medaille-dor-renovateur-suede-250-ml-spray-neutral.html"><em>Renovateur</em></a> spray. For detailed instructions of how to do this, see the above section on caring for suede and nubuck.</p>
<h2 id="vard-av-lackskor">Caring for Patent Leather</h2>
<p>Patent leather should not be treated with any kind of spray, as the production process itself uses a coating that can become damaged if further layers are applied. Instead, they should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with lukewarm water before being polished to a shine using a cotton cloth.</p>
<p>If desired, wax can be applied to the sides of the sole to give a little extra shine.</p>
<h2 id="vard-av-cordovan">Caring for Cordovan</h2>
<p>Cordovan rarely needs any kind of cleaning or treatment as the material is already full of natural fats from the production process itself. If the leather should start to appear dull, use a deer bone to restore its shine.</p>
<h2 id="vard-av-syntetlader">Caring for Imitation Leather</h2>
<p>Unlike animal leather, synthetic leather is not a living fabric and therefore, shoes using such synthetic materials do not usually require quite as much care as other models, neither are they able to absorb most shoe creams. However, there are still a few things you can do to touch-up their appearance.</p>
<p>Begin by brushing off dried-in dirt before cleaning them off with a damp cloth. They can then be treated with a waterproofing spray (see "Caring for Suede and Nubuck" above) or can be given a little extra shine by applying wax (see "Caring for Leather").</p>
<p>Be aware that shoes in synthetic materials should be cleaned with caution as shoe care products may cause a chemical reaction to occur in certain synthetics.</p>
<h2 id="vard-av-sula-klack">Caring for Soles and Heels</h2>
<p>A neutral shoe cream is a great way to give leather soles a bit of TLC as it will provide an extra layer of waterproofing – particularly beneficial since the sole is the part that is exposed to the most moisture.<br /><br />If the soles and/or heels of your shoes begin to look or feel worn, it can be a good idea to take them to a cobbler to be re-soled or re-heeled. This can add years to the life of your shoes.</p>
<h2 id="saltflackar">Salt Stains</h2>
<p>Salt stains are a recurring problem during the winter months, especially for those of us at more northerly latitudes. Taking a proactive approach is the best way to ensure the salt doesn’t damage your shoes: After having walked over salt and slush, wipe down your shoes with a damp cloth as soon as you get home. This will remove most of the salt before it finds its way into the leather. Unfortunately, removing salt stains that have permeated the leather are extremely difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to remove, so you should try to clean them as soon as possible.</p>
<p>With that said, a method of removing existing salt stains that can, in many cases, produce good results, is to scrub the area with a scouring pad dipped in lemon water.</p>
