Stain removers There are various products on the market for removing or minimising mild stains (such as water, salt and oil-based stains). Every material and every stain has unique characteristics, so there is no single solution for removing stains from a shoe.

Personal adviceBelow are some suggestions for obtaining professional advice in your area.

• Your local cobbler will have a wide range of shoe care products and possess a lot of knowledge about treating stains and leather. Find a cobbler near you via a website affiliated with Floris van Bommel, namely www.stichtingschoenmakersgilde.nl (NL) and www.meesterschoenmaker.be (BE).

• One of our Floris van Bommel brand stores. For a list of store addresses, go here.

• Your local Van Bommel dealer or a high-end shoe store. The staff at these stores will be optimally equipped to serve your needs.

Of course, you always have the option of contacting our customer service: 0800-7245456 or webshop@florisvanbommel.com

Online advice For online advice, we recommend Collonil, our partner in shoe care products. Colloni's website, www.collonil.com, contains a lot of practical information about shoe care. However, seeking comprehensive personalised advice at your shoe dealer or local cobbler is by far the best option.
