Can you polish Treads shoes?

All treads shoes are made from premium Permair leather which is breathable and water resistant. Although the shoes have been designed to be low maintenance with a wipe clean surface there are things you can do to prolong the longevity. The best way to keep your leather shoes in tip-top condition is to try and prevent them from getting wet!

Do not polish a damp shoe. Dry them first by stuffing them with newspaper. Do not leave near a radiator or any heat to speed this up. Be sure to let the soles get some air so they can dry properly. Once they’re nearly dry, replace the newspaper with a shoe tree to help further maintain their shape. For salt stains mix one cup of water and one tablespoon of white vinegar. Soak a cotton ball with the mixture and wipe it over the stains.

To polish wipe your shoes down with a damp cloth to remove superficial dirt and stains, then wet a welt brush and scrub out the entire welt strip. Apply polish, using a circular rubbing motion. Don’t put too much on – you’ll only have to remove it later! Work the polish into the leather, the more you rub, the better. Let the polish dry. It should take about ten minutes. Buff the entire shoe with a polishing brush. For extra gleam, hold the shoe between your knees and buff the toe vigorously with a lint-free cloth

What leather is used to produce Treads Shoes?

All of our leather shoes are made from premium permair leather TM. Permair leather is real leather with the added benefit of a unique microporous finish, allowing feet to breathe more naturally in comfort and providing a layer of protection that guards against stains and water.

Which size do I pick?

Once you have measured your foot, simply add your results to our online size calculator. This will give you best fit from our size range. If for example you are a size 8 you should order 7.5-8 or if you are an 8.5, you should opt for the 8.5-9.
