I bet I don’t have to tell you twice that shoes can be expensive! I’m sure you already know! And they are especially expensive if you are buying them for your whole family for back to school!
One great way to save money is by restoring some of the shoes you already have. It really doesn’t take much to get some slightly-worn shoes back into great shape. I used the KIWI back to school kit to fix up a number of my shoes and I want to share the results with you.
First, I used the KIWI Protect-All and Express Shine Sponge on two pairs of my favorite leather shoes. Here is the transformation in one of the leather shoes I wear just about everyday:
I used the Fast Acting Cleaner on my white (way too easily dirty-but I love them so) Cowgirl boots:
I also used the Protector for Suede and Nubuck on my Uggs. This is a VERY important product to have! This keeps your Uggs, Bearpaws, etc. nice an clean all through the winter! I wear mine in the snow and rain, and this stuff is so important because it repels water and keeps from staining! I bet you have seen how some suede boots get that white stain around them – this eliminates that possibility! It is a must have for the winter if you want to keep your shoes looking good!
I was given the Back-to-School kit by KIWI including the: Save the Suede (Suede and Nubuck Protector), Keep Sneakers Clean (Fast acting cleaner and Protect all), Change the Laces (Shoelaces), Shine It Up (Express Shine with Sponge). Overall, I repaired 4 of my shoes so far! They are now shiny and like-new. I wasn’t ready to let some of my favorite shoes go, some that I wear almost everyday and get worn out fast. Luckily, with KIWI I didn’t have to. They make it easy to keep shoes in great shape and extend a shoe life.
Now you have a chance to win a pair for yourself…
{Giveaway}
The Prize: A KIWI Back to School Kit! Save the Suede (Suede and Nubuck Protector), Keep Sneakers Clean (Fast acting cleaner and Protect all), Change the Laces (Shoelaces), Shine It Up (Express Shine Sponge).
