How to Restore Old Shoes and Make Them Look Brand New

👞 Don’t Throw Away Your Old Shoes Just Yet

Before you decide to toss that worn-out pair of leather shoes or faded sneakers, try this: restore them at home with the right products and simple techniques.

At Helios India, we help you revive your favorite pairs—whether they’re scuffed, dry, dull, or just neglected for too long.


🛠 Step-by-Step: How to Restore Old Leather Shoes

✅ Step 1: Clean Off the Dirt

Use a Helios Shoe Brush to remove loose dust. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or Helios Leather Wipes.

Never soak leather in water!


✅ Step 2: Deep Condition with Leather Cream

Old leather cracks because it dries out. Use Helios Leather Cream Polish to moisturize and restore softness.
Apply in circular motion and let it absorb.

✅ Choose a matching color for faded spots
✅ Use Neutral polish for general care


✅ Step 3: Add Shine and Protection

After conditioning, apply Helios Wax Polish for shine and surface protection. Buff it with a brush or soft cloth.


👟 How to Restore Old Sneakers

✅ Step 1: Foam Clean

Use Helios Sneaker Cleaning Foam. Spray, scrub gently, and wipe. It removes years of dust and stains instantly.


✅ Step 2: Helios Foot Fresh

Spray Helios Foot Fresh to kill odour-causing bacteria and refresh your kicks.


✅ Step 3: Protect for the Future

Spray Helios Water & Stain Repellent to avoid future damage from rain, mud, or spills.
