    Matt leather shoes

    Having just purchased a pair of matt finish Dr. Martens shoes, how do I clean them?

    Anyone know?

    Now, that's a bit of a stretch.

    Assuming you want to keep them Matt and not shinny I would just use a good quality shoe cream.

    Something like Saphir

    it will restore, nourish and keep the colour without adding the shine of a wax polish.

    Shoe trees and baby wipes. As an aside, if it's not for the comrades and their sacrifices, the people you keep dear to your heart would probably make beautiful lampshades for the numerous Bierhalls in Bavaria.

    Are they black? If so then they are probably 'Black Fine Haircell' leather, produced by either Sadesa or Prime Asia tanneries. On the production line these are cleaned with a light solvent free solution and then lightly mopped using a horse hair mopping wheel.

    If you don't have these to hand then a damp cloth and a wipe will suffice.

    I'll get me coat...
