Once your look is in place, keeping the finish radiant and crease-free from morning to midnight comes down to smart finishing.

Keeping That Backstage-Fresh Glow
Red patent leather scuffs easily, so I tell my clients to carry a tiny polish cloth and a clear shoe repair stick in their bag.
If you hit a puddle, wipe the shoes dry immediately to avoid water spots.
And never, ever wear them on a rainy day unless you’re ready to embrace the patina.
For touch-ups, a dab of vaseline on the strap’s buckle area prevents rubbing blisters.
And swapping in gel insoles makes all-day walking a breeze.
After a long day, let them air out and store with tissue inside to keep their shape—these babies are worth the extra TLC.
