Get your shoes ready for spring: Goodbye snow!
Philipe Moreau-Latreille With the snow melting in March in Quebec, March Break heralds the beginning of a transition to spring. At Chez Gerry 1958 , we know that your shoes have been through a harsh winter – salt, mud and cold have left their mark. It’s the perfect time to give them a second life and welcome the new season in style. Here’s how to prepare your shoes for the spring renewal!
Melting snow: time to take stock of your shoes
When the snow starts to melt, it often reveals hidden damage: cracked leather from frost, worn soles from slippery sidewalks, or even caked-on salt stains. Your winter boots, whether they’re Sorel or Saute-Mouton , have worked hard to keep you warm and dry. But before you put them away or switch to your spring footwear, a trip to the cobbler is in order. A thorough cleaning and a few repairs can go a long way in extending their lifespan.
Pro tips for a spring makeover
At Chez Gerry 1958, we share our secrets to bring your shoes back to life after winter. For salt stains, cleaning with specialized products (available from us!) followed by a moisturizing treatment for leather is essential. Your Blundstone or Timberland will regain their original look. And if your soles are worn, a quality resoling – a specialty of our workshop – will make them ready for the first walks in the sun. Spring is the time to take out your favorites and give them the care they deserve!
