Care Guide

Knowing how to care for your Nine West purchase will help you keep it in great condition for longer. Here are some tips on how to best look after your new Nine West shoes and handbags.

How To Care For Your Shoes

Caring For Leather

To maintain the appearance of leather, spray with waterproofing spray every seven wears.
Treat monthly with leather conditioner using a dry colorless cloth to clean and restore the leather. Allow to dry then buff to shine.
Instant shine may also be used on leather.

Caring For Patent Leather

Patent is waterproof due to its glossy finish. Use instant shine to maintain its appearance.
Keep patent shoes away from coloured items. Dark coloured patent may transfer on to other shoes and light patent may become stained. Store separately or in box.

Caring For Suede

Suede is leather that has been brushed to create a nap.
To maintain the appearance of suede, apply waterproofing spray every seven wears.
To restore the nap, brush with a suede brush.
Never brush dark suede then brush light suede as this allows the fibers to transfer.

Caring For Nubuck

Nubuck is leather that has been buffed to create a slight nap. Similar to suede although with shorter fibers.
Due to its delicate nature, apply waterproofing spray every seven wears.
To remove slight imperfections, brush gently with the suede brush utilising the rubber bristles.

Caring For Fabric

Apply waterproofing spray every seven wears to avoid stains.

How To Care For Your Jewellery

Keep it away from moisture, and extreme temperature places.
Remove when sleeping, and before entering water or high humidity places.
Allow perfumes and body lotions to dry before you wear your jewellery.
Remove when exercising or during sweating prone activities.
Store your jewellery in a closed bag or box.
Wipe your jewellery with a clean dry cloth after long wear.

How To Use Shoe Accessories

Gel Comfort Cushions

Used to provide instant comfort.
They do not stick down therefore they may be removed, layered, or moved to other shoes.
If shoes are slightly large, but half a size down is too small, apply gel cushions for a better fit.
For events, add to shoes once if feet become sore.

Anti-Slip Heel Grips

Used when shoes appear to fit well but foot continues to slip out. This will ensure a better fit without modifying the front of the shoe.
Stops shoe from rubbing heel of foot to prevent blisters.

Sole Grips

For shoes that do not have enough grip on the sole.
Perfect for events where floor is slippery (e.g. tiles) and rainy days.
If the shoes are slightly taller than you are used to, sole grips provide stability.
They apply like a sticker and are only temporary. Will wear off depending on how/how often you wear your shoes.
