Soft leather
It is very easy to clean soft leather shoes. Take a cloth, add a small amount of cleansing cream and wipe using circular movements. Let it dry for an hour. The shoes need waterproofing to keep their suppleness and shine.

Synthetic
You should maintain your leather shoes using a soft-bristled brush or even a slightly damp cloth. Your shoes only need a couple of buffs. Then apply wax in a suitable colour and next waterproof them to protect them.

Foal-style leather
Cowhide-style calfskin leather is fragile, and you should only clean shoes like this with a damp cloth and let them dry naturally. Above all, you should never apply wax or cream to them. To protect your shoes, you can apply protective spray last of all.

Suede
You should remove the dust from suede shoes using a soft brush. Then waterproof them. The waterproofing product should be the same colour as the suede.
