While most people love wearing classic suede and leather shoes, it can be difficult to keep them looking as good as new, particularly when its raining or even snowing.

However, style specialist Vilie Farah, writing for Helium, said there are some basic tips that can be applied to ensure shoes stay looking as great as the day you bought them.

Firstly, she recommended investing in a proper suede brush and polish for suede shoes, as this will prevent them losing colour and getting marked by moisture.

For leather, Ms Farah said waterproof sprays “are a must” to make shoes last longer.

Meanwhile, to keep that brand-new shoe smell, the expert suggested applying shoe deodorants each evening after you take them off. This will kill any bacteria and make sure new shoes stay smelling great no matter how much wear they get.

To follow Ms Farahs tips easily, you could get hold of a Pavers Shoe Care Kit, which features an array of polishes for all kinds of different shoes.

A Dasco Nylon Multi-Application Suede Brush with Suede Cleaning Block could also be a useful tool for your suede shoes.
