Hemlines Tip

Ladies we all have that shoe (or shoes) that we absolutely love, that show stopper that will carry us from one year to the next. Well, it's important that we take proper care of those shoes so that they remain staples in our closets. Here are some helpful hints to keep those heels looking like new.

Leather: Before wearing spray on stain guard. You don't want to seal in dirt or marks, and remember to spray soles too.

Suede: Clean frequently with a suede brush; it'll keep the material looking new and get rid of any dirt under the surface.

Stilettos: To make a pair really last, reinforce soles and heels right after buying. Store with cedar shoe trees. They smell great, absorb moisture, and help hold shape.
