Our tips for caring for and cleaning your heeled boots

Why look after your heeled boots?

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

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

- Ensure a well-groomed appearance: Well-maintained ankle boots add a touch of elegance and care to your style, whatever the occasion.

TILLI services for the care of your heeled boots

Our Shoemakers offer a complete range of services to take care of your boots, using artisan techniques at every stage of the process.

Deep cleaning
Professional cleaning of your boots revives their colour 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.

Hydrating and nourishing the leather
Leather boots require regular moisturising 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 renovation
The heels of ankle boots are subject to a great deal of wear and tear, particularly at the heel caps. Our Makers carry out toe cap replacements and can also renovate heels in the event of more extensive damage. They use resistant and attractive 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 boots are an essential part of any wardrobe, 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 tailored, personalised care solutions.
