About to pick up some shoes from Zara. Do you recommend any particular product that can help keep it in good condition?
Also I got a pair of shoes before that if i scratched it with my finger it would leave a mark...is that easily fixable?

If they are leather, basic leather shoe polish from any shop should work to keep them nice - it helps to keep them waterproof and makes them more resistant to scrapes etc.

Depends on what they're made of?

Dubbin is what you want.
It goes on clear and is used to waterproof and soften the leather. You've just got to rub it on the leather thinly with a cloth or something, and then leave it to soak in for a day. It's also really cheap for how much use you can get out of one tin.

Edit: I think this only applies to real leather though, so don't go smearing it on any faux stuff Just a warning...

So that stops the scratches?

If they are made of leather then use leather polish. You can get it to match the colour of your shoes or you can get clear stuff too

Minimises them yeah

[lapples]

real leather shoes have a symbol like this on them

If they're black leather, get some polish and 2 brushes
Use one brush to rub the polish in, the other to 'buff' it.

Or google, 'how to treat leather shoes'

Spit. Polish. Repeat.
