DISTRESS CALL

Here at Solestruck, we get tons and tons of questions about how to protect and renew the leather beauties that we scrimp and save for, and while out customer service gurus know all the secrets, I thought I’d share one tip I just tried out for myself right here on the blog- with before and after pics!THE SHOE:

The Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane

I’ve had mine for about 6 months now, and while they already come distressed, I’ve been extra hard on mine. I mean, I wear them everyday! Some people love the distressed and beat up look, but for those of you who aren’t so into the already-worn-even-though-I-just-took-them-out-of-the-box look, rather than returning them (especially if you’re international!) and taking your chances on a replacement pair, I recommend going to your local chain store, such as bi-mart, target, cvs, etc. and purchasing some shoe polish or scuff repair polish; I think it only costs like, $8 max. I used Kiwi Scuff Cover in Black, but you can use any brand they carry and whatever color your shoes are. So here we go..
