The 10 keys to keeping your swing shoes in the best condition

1. The first thing you should know is that the material we use to make our Madame Dynamite shoes is designed for occasional and specific use. It's hard to resist wearing them for a walk or to work, but keep them away from surfaces that can cause scratches or bumps. Their condition affects the breathability and health of your feet.
2. Avoid exposing them to the sun so they don't suffer color variations.
3. New shoes should be worn gradually. Although Madame Dynamite shoes are super comfortable, it's a good idea to wear them for a couple of hours at home before going out dancing in them, so they shape to your feet.
4. Use a shoehorn. It's a good habit that will prevent the heel part of the shoe from deforming.
5. When you take them off after dancing, do so by unfastening or untying them (although it seems obvious, it's worth mentioning) and let them air out. This will prevent odors and the formation of bacteria and mold. You can put paper balls inside to absorb moisture and help the shoe keep its shape. If you have a shoe tree, it will ensure they remain perfect.
6. Wipe them with a soft cotton cloth to remove dust before storing them. For our men's shoes, ZETA, you can use a soft brush. It's a highly recommended habit. If they have dirt or a stain, you can clean it carefully with a slightly damp cloth with water and neutral soap. Wash cotton laces by hand. If the soles are very dirty or have stuck-on residue, use a water sandpaper lightly. You can find it in hardware stores. Over time, your shoes will stay even better if you occasionally apply a bit of colorless cream, which is important to hydrate the leather to prevent cracking if you use them a lot.
7. For scratches, use a damp cloth with salt and rub the shoe gently. There are also cleaners specifically designed to treat leather available in shoe stores.
8. After this essential ritual, store them like gold until their next use. The best is to put them in the fabric bag we give you with your purchase. It will protect them from dust and moisture. It's better if they stand on their soles, not on their sides. This other position is only suitable if they are wet or damp and you put paper inside or use the shoe tree.
9. Check the soles of your dance shoes from time to time and take them to the cobbler if necessary. He is your best ally to keep your swing shoes in great condition.
10. When you put them away for a long period, give them a bit of cream before storing them.

Taking care of swing shoes will extend their life, and you will enjoy them for longer.
