If allowed to stand over night in a pan with enough olive oil to cover the soles, they will last longer, and never creak. Rub new shoes with a slice of raw potato, and they will polish as easily as old ones. Coat the soles of new shoes with three or four coats of copal varnish and they will seldom need resoling. Rub new shoes occasionally with vaseline to prolong their wearing qualities. If the soles of shoes are oiled with a little vaseline about twice each month, and let dry over night, rubbers will seldom be needed to keep out dampness. Wet shoes should be stuffed with paper to absorb the moisture and prevent the leather getting hard.
