DIY at home for light, routine tasks: brushing off dust, conditioning, polishing, and treating fresh stains. Go to a professional for serious damage or technical work: spreading mold, deep cracks, faded or discolored leather, recoloring, sole protection, or restoring high-value leather bags and jackets.

The full answer
Do it yourself: dusting, conditioning every 4–6 weeks, polishing, treating water marks and stains while fresh, and basic deodorizing — it saves money and helps you understand your shoes. See a professional for: widespread black mold, deep cracks exposing the lining, faded or discolored leather, recoloring or patina work, worn or detached soles needing repair or replacement, elaborate Mirror Shines, and any high-value designer pieces (Hermès or LV bags, nappa leather jackets) — one wrong step causes permanent damage that costs far more to fix.
