Professional shoe wax set (4-piece)

A quality product from Grenzenlos-Schuhwerk Oberstdorf - the hunting and mountain shoe specialist from the Allgäu. To maintain the quality and usability of your high-quality leather shoes, proper treatment and care must begin immediately after purchase - and before breaking in the shoes. Very few shoes are delivered to you pre-waxed. Therefore, the shoes must be intensively waxed before first use. Waxing with high-quality leather wax should be repeated regularly, depending on the frequency of use of the shoes. Please do not use leather fat, as fat is a softener for leather and not a waterproofing agent. The four-part leather care set includes: a medium-hard cleaning brush (for dry cleaning of the shoes) a wax application brush a soft polishing brush a can of high-quality shine shoe wax (colorless) 250 ml a waxing instruction from Grenzenlos-Schuhwerk Oberstdorf Waxing instructions: If the shoes are muddy after a day of hunting, please do not wash them off with water! Let the dirt dry and brush it off with the medium-hard cleaning brush. Fine residual dirt and dust can be left on the shoe and polished in with the next layer of wax. This makes the surface of the shoe even harder and more closed, sealing the leather. The wax is applied evenly to the entire shoe with the application brush. After a drying phase of at least 15 minutes, the shoes are polished with the soft natural hair brush, which evenly distributes the wax on the surface and hardens. This process should be repeated regularly, with the frequency depending on how often and how intensively the shoe is used or comes into contact with moisture. With daily or intensive use of the shoe, care should be done every 3 to 4 days. If the leather gets wet despite the wax protection layer - whether from outside through water or from inside through sweating - stuff the shoes with paper, e.g. kitchen towels, and let them dry slowly in the air. Do not place them in direct sunlight or dry them on the stove or heater - otherwise, the leather and the tensioned rubber edges will shrink massively, the shoe will become smaller and literally collapse. The result: The leather becomes brittle and cracked! A tip for further care: To counteract the drying out of the leather, the shoes should be treated with leather balm (Art.Nr. 110 404) 2 to 3 times a year before waxing. This balm penetrates the leather and keeps it supple. After that, the shoes are waxed again to achieve a smooth, water-repellent surface. Continuous care with wax and occasional use of leather balm significantly extends the lifespan of your leather shoes! Why is shoe wax used for waterproofing instead of leather fat? Unfortunately, many shoe stores sell fats for waterproofing leather shoes. Using fat for waterproofing is incorrect. Shoe wax is organic or synthetic paraffin and generally acts as a repellent barrier on the surface of the leather. It hardly penetrates the leather structure, but holds very well and protects the leather from harmful external influences when applied correctly. Shoe wax always contains a carrier liquid that makes the wax applicable and then evaporates. This hardens the wax, making it polishable. Leather fat or fat mixtures (often with beeswax), on the other hand, penetrate the leather after application. They nourish the hard, dry, or brittle leather from the inside, allowing the fibers to swell again and giving the leather substance from within. The use of fat or leather balm restores volume, smoothness, and suppleness to the leather. While fat repels water, it is not a waterproofing agent for leather shoes, as it makes the leather very soft. Manufacturer: Grenzenlos-Schuhwerk & Grenzenlos
