Care instructions
Women and we at MARCO TOZZI certainly have one thing in common: we love shoes! All shoe-loving women who want to preserve the timeless beauty of their treasures for a long time should look after them regularly. We would like to give you a few tips and tricks on how to look after your shoes so that you can enjoy your favorite pieces for a long time.
Basic tips
Nappa and smooth leather
To care for smooth leather shoes, you should use either a neutral or colored leather cream that matches the color of the shoe and always apply the cream with the help of a cloth from the heel to the toe, as this allows the care to be optimally absorbed into the leather. If you have worn the shoes frequently, leave a shoe tree in the shoe so that the leather cream can also penetrate the creases.
After using care products, you should impregnate the shoes.
For nappa leather, we recommend using a wax-based waterproofing spray to care for your shoes.

Our care tip:
If the smooth leather looks dull after impregnation, polish your shoes until they shine!
Nubuck and suede leather
Before cleaning, always brush the leather with a shoe brush to loosen the fiber structure.
Then apply the nubuck care product from the heel to the toe of the shoe using a dabbing motion, as this allows the care product to be optimally absorbed into the fibers and protects the shoe.
After the care product has dried, use the brush again to roughen the leather and restore the original fiber structure. If spots form, you can easily remove them with a small brush.

Our care tip:
Never use a suede brush with brass bristles on light-colored suede. The brass can discolor the velour green!
Textile
Before caring for a textile shoe, you should remove the coarse dirt with a shoe brush. If it is very dirty, we recommend using a damp cloth or sponge in combination with a cleaning foam and lightly massaging in the foam. Then remove the foam and dirt residue with a new, damp cloth.
Textile shoes should be impregnated regularly to increase their lifespan and protect against wet feet. This also makes caring for textile shoes easier in the long term.

Our care tip:
Nubuck care is also suitable for re-dyeing dark textiles in the corresponding color!
