So the first step is going to be just to gently clean the surface of the shoes using some water to remove any surface dirt. Use a spray bottle. You could dampen a cloth. But the purpose provides a really light cleaning to remove any superficial dirt that is on the surface of the shoes.Leather waxes depending on the brand you get will come with rich oils like linseed oil and wax-like beeswax. While there are several ready-made leather waxes on the markets today, you will also be able to DIY leather waxes for your leather goods or leather crafts. Lanolin, or wool wax, comes from sheep wool, and it is used to moisturize and prevent the leather from drying; sometimes, it appears as something called “saddle oil.” It is usually combined with other materials to make a leather balm. There’s a slightly different application for lanolin since it actually moisturizes leather, so this is something to consider when comparing it to beeswax.
