The sun was shining yesterday so I was excited to wear my favorite sandals, these cute pair of handmade wooden soled Swedish clogs. But after a winter of wear (with socks), they needed a little bit of TLC.
So I got to work…
You will need:
- Some medium/fine grade sandpaper
- Olive oil
- Cotton rag
How to:
- Sand any marks off the wooden sole, then wipe away any dust.
- Dab your cloth in olive oil and gently rub into the wood and the leather.
The olive oil will nourish and darken the wood and leather and help protect from damp.
All done!
Now my sandals look brand new, and with regular care, will last for many years to come. Bring on summer!
Hi Cinti,
I love these clogs! Where can you buy them in Melbourne?
Cheers,
Amanda
Love these – off to online shop!
FYI, the brand is Swedish Hasbeens. Totally a non sponsored post but I must say they are great.
Shipped from Sweden in less than a week!
Sometimes they do free shipping which is when I got mine.
Thankyou so much for the heads-up on theses sandals – I'm always on the look out for good-looking, comfy sandals as my feet need as much help as possible to look good…would you say they're a wide fitting?!
Thanks for this post – lately I've developed a bit of an addiction to wooden soled shoes and I've been wondering what to do to make them last, so this is perfect!
Wow….olive oil ! thanks for this awesome tip.
awesome! this has been on my mind recently too so thanks for the tip x
I think its better to use a nourishing oil made for leather. Olive oil will eventually turn rancid and smell.
