Meet the Patina Artist!

Alberto Suastez
Finalist at World Championship of Shoe Patina, 2023 (London)
Alberto Suastez, an award winning patina artist originally from Mexico City, has resided in Arizona for the past 25 years. Though he pursued Piano Performance at the University of Arizona, his professional journey has been firmly rooted in finance. Alberto’s artistic patina venture began in 2016 when he bought a pair of shoes in the wrong color, prompting him to experiment with leather dyes. This initial curiosity blossomed into a passion, and over the past eight years, he has completed nearly 1,000 patina jobs for clients across the world.
In 2023, Alberto’s dedication and skill earned him a place in the prestigious World Championship of Shoe Patina in London. His artistry is deeply inspired by the interplay of colors found in nature, a theme that is evident in his meticulous work. Through his unique perspective and creativity, Alberto has made a significant mark in the world of patina artistry.

Breaking into Goodyear Welted shoes means allowing time for the leather to soften and mold to the shape of your feet. Initially, the shoes may feel stiff, but with regular wear, they will become more comfortable and tailored to your foot shape.
Cedar wood shoe trees help maintain the shape of your shoes, absorb moisture, and eliminate odors. Using them regularly extends the life of your shoes by preventing creases and maintaining their original form.

Caring for your hand painted patina shoes is essential to maintaining their unique finish and longevity. Here are some tips:
- Clean Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dust and dirt after each wear. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals as they can damage the hand-painted finish.
- Condition the Leather: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out. Make sure to use a product specifically designed for delicate or hand-painted leather.
- Polish Sparingly: Use a neutral or matching color cream polish sparingly. Avoid wax polishes as they can alter the patina. Apply the cream polish with a soft cloth and buff gently to maintain the shine.
- Use Cedar Shoe Trees: Insert cedar shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. They help maintain the shape, absorb moisture, and keep the shoes fresh.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Try to keep your shoes away from rain and puddles. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Store Properly: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original dust bags. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Professional Care: For deep cleaning or extensive care, consider taking your shoes to a professional cobbler who specializes in hand-painted or high-quality leather shoes.
By following these steps, you can ensure your hand painted patina shoes remain beautiful and last for many years.
