Clean the outside of the shoe and inside any splits between the upper and sole, using a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse the cloth and wipe off the soap. Let the shoes dry.

2
Apply leather glue inside the split, coating the inside of the damaged area. Press the sole and upper together to close the split in the shoe. Wrap duct tape around the shoe to keep the split closed while the glue dries.

Remove the duct tape once the glue has dried.

Apply leather conditioner to the upper part of the shoe, using a cloth. Rub the conditioner into the leather slowly, using a circular rubbing motion. Leave the shoe for an hour to absorb the conditioner. This will re-moisturize the damaged leather.

Apply shoe polish to cover up any small scratches or scuff marks in the shoe leather. Rub the shoe polish over the shoe and buff until shiny and flawless.
