SMOOTH LEATHER

Alternative material names:
Shagreen, reptile leather
Shoe material symbol:
Features:                     

• The surface feels smooth to the touch
• Medium to high gloss
• Can also be printed (e.g. reptile look)

Properties:

• Manufactured from the outside layer of animal
  skins  (cattle, pig, calf)
• A natural material that must be able to
  “breathe“œ

Care:

• Leather shoes require wax, so that the leather stays soft and supple and does not dry out
• Brightens up the colour of your shoes
• Gives protection against water and dirt
• Makes shoes shine

Tip:

Never polish your shoes while they are still wet; the shoe cream mixes with the water and the shoes take longer to dry.
