Appropriate cleaning and precise care are essential to extend the life of your boots and guarantee a well-groomed style. At TILLI, our shoemakers put their expertise to work to restore your shoes to their former glory.

Why look after your heeled boots?

Proper care not only keeps your booties looking good, but also prevents damage from daily wear and tear:
- Prolong lifespan: By taking good care of your booties, you reduce the risk of premature wear to the leather, outsole or heel.

- Preserve comfort and support: Regular cleaning keeps leather or suede supple and your feet comfortable.

TILLI services for the care of your heeled boots

Our shoemakers offer a complete service to care for your boots, using artisanal techniques for every step of the process.

Deep cleaning
Professional cleaning of your booties revives their color and removes impurities embedded in the materials. Our makers use products adapted to each type of leather or suede to preserve the integrity of the material. They remove accumulated stains, dust and dirt for an impeccable finish.

Leather hydration and nourishment
Leather booties require regular moisturizing to prevent cracking and preserve their suppleness. Our makers apply nourishing creams and balms specially designed for leather, ensuring a soft texture and long-lasting natural shine. This step also protects against daily wear and tear.

Waterproofing and protection
Waterproofing is crucial to protect your booties from the elements and prolong their durability. Our makers apply a high-quality waterproofing treatment that protects leather, suede or synthetic materials, while preserving the breathability of the materials. Thanks to this protection, your boots are more resistant to water, stains and harsh weather conditions.

Heel replacement and heel restoration
The heels of ankle boots are subject to heavy wear, particularly at the heel caps. Our makers carry out toe cap replacements, and can also restore heels in the event of more extensive damage. They use resistant and aesthetic materials, guaranteeing comfort and stability while extending the life of your boots. Take advantage of our Repair Bonus discounts on all shoe repair services!

Tips for regular care of your heeled boots

Daily care will keep your heeled boots in perfect condition. Here are a few simple tips to keep them looking their best:

Proper storage: Store your booties in a dry place, away from direct light and moisture. Use shoe trees to preserve their shape and prevent the leather from warping.

Avoid excessive exposure to water: Water is one of the main enemies of leather and suede shoes. If it rains, leave your boots to dry in the open air, away from a source of direct heat, which could damage the material.

Weekly care routine: A simple brushing or quick cleaning once a week will keep your booties in good condition. This preventive routine prevents the build-up of dust and dirt.

Heeled booties are a wardrobe staple, and their care should not be neglected. Whether you need to clean the leather, protect the suede or replace the heel caps, TILLI can provide you with customized care solutions. Entrust your boots to our makers to preserve their elegance and comfort, and enjoy shoes in perfect condition, ready to face any season.
