In a few months I'm planning on investing in a pair of patent leather shoes.

I know how to care for my calfskin shoes, but am clueless about patent shoes.

Dear Cufflink,

this could answer your question: https://www.hangerproject.com/shoe-care ... t-leather/

They should need very little care. To remove splashes of sherry, wine, port, brandy, in that order, I find a spot of dish-washing detergent in warm water does the trick very nicely - followed by a rub down with a dry soft cloth. Restores the shine perfectly

Thank you kindly for the tips.

I have a 25 yo pair of Allen Edmonds patent leather dress shoes. At the time I bought them, the salesman told me to use window cleaner if I ever needed to clean them. So far, I've never needed anything more than a damp cloth.
