IMG_1324.jpgMy husband has a pair of beautiful tiny black leather boots which his father wore when he was young - they are not "worn down" and have clearly been looked after. It is known he had small feet so it is possible he would have been wearing them as a 4/5 year old. He was born in 1904 which, if he was wearing them age 4/5 makes them 105/106 years old (I think?)
The leather where the top front of the shoe was creased from wearing them has cracked and I now notice it is beginning to peal. Kept in a display cabinet and not in the sun.
How can I go about preventing further deterioration? Is ordinary shoe polish enough? Would like to keep them in as good condition as possible.
