Winter weather takes a harsh toll on our beloved booties, prized pumps and stylish sneakers. Melting snow and soon-to-be spring showers are a shoe’s worst enemy, leaving them in need of a few touch-ups. Remedies can be found around the house for a quick fix.

Shine patent leather pumps or flats with window cleaner. Run-ins with dirty snow or muddy puddles cause patent leather to turn cloudy. Spray Windex onto a clean towel and rub in circular motions for a fresh polish.

Leather boots can be restored with daily moisturizer. Those unfortunate scratches disappear with a few pumps of your favorite face lotion. Rub it into your hands, and apply to areas in need.

Renew suede booties and heels with a nail file. Grind the nail file against those pesky dirt spots and they crumble to pieces. This is the perfect tip to touch up shoes on a night out.

Canvas sneakers can be waterproofed with beeswax. Before you decide to wear them to class, apply beeswax all over the surface. It acts as a protective layer from the snow and rain. Now they are ready for winter.
