How to take care of my sneakers?

We believe in responsible consumption: buying less while enjoying more. That's why we want to make sure that your sneakers last long and we can stay true to our impact. Therefore, we put together this care guide to help you take care of your sneakers.

Plain Leather: Apply a thin layer of leather balm and once it’s dry, gently brush to keep the finish of the leather always in good conditions. Opt for softer brushes to make sure you don’t damage your sneakers. A leather protector spray is also an option to consider. This also applies for synthetic leather.

Suede: Use a brush to gently remove any dirt or dust. Brush in the direction of the fabric’s grain to avoid damaging it. Dry stains can be removed by using a white or brown gum eraser. If it doesn't work we advise you to visit your local cobbler and get additional advice.

Grain Leather: Apply a thin layer of leather balm and once it’s dry, gently brush to keep the finish of the leather always in good conditions. Opt for softer brushes to make sure you don’t damage your sneakers. A leather protector spray is also an option to consider.

Nubuck: Nubuck cloths are the best option to remove dirt and shiny spots. Wipe in several directions using circular motions and make sure you cover the entire nap area.

Canvas: NOTE: We advise against washing your sneakers in the washing machine, it can break down the adhesives used to glue the canvas together and ruin leather inserts. It is ok to machine wash the laces with like-coloured laundry.

1 - Remove laces and insole.
2 - Rinse only the canvas panelling of the sneakers with warm water inside and out, then scrub the canvas gently with an old toothbrush and a mixture of water and non-bleaching detergent. In case they have any special detailing or leather/suede inserts, don’t fully rinse your sneakers, leave all leather parts out of the rinsing/washing step. Use a nylon scrub pad to get rid of tougher stains.
3 - Rinse carefully with clean, cold water.
4 - Pad them with absorbent paper towels and let your sneakers air-dry

Rubber Soles: Clean the dirt with a dampened cloth and carefully soak the sole in a mixture of water and dishwashing soap. Make sure you don’t soak the upper part! Use a toothbrush with the mixture to scrub your soles. Once it’s done, dry the sneakers using a cloth.
