Care instructions
To maintain the performance of your sneakers over time, we recommend care, attention, and regular cleaning.
Before you start, insert shoe trees or stuff the shoes with crumpled newspaper to help them retain their shape during cleaning. Then you're ready to go.
Begin by removing dirt from the outsole, midsole, and upper using a dry, soft shoe brush. Don’t have a shoe brush? A clean toothbrush will work just as well.
Mix warm water with a small amount of mild detergent or dish soap. For white or lighter shoes, we recommend creating a more effective cleaning paste using equal parts water and baking soda.
Remove the laces from the shoes and apply some of the mild cleaning solution. Knead the laces by hand, rinse them, and then pat them dry with a soft cloth.
Apply the mild cleaning solution to a soft brush, toothbrush, or cleaning cloth. Thoroughly clean the outsole and midsole, ensuring all dirt is removed. Wipe the soles dry with a soft cloth.
**Note:** If you wish to clean the insoles, remove them and wash them with the prepared solution. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back in the shoes.
Use the mild cleaning solution along with a soft brush, toothbrush, or damp cloth to clean the upper. Brush gently to avoid damaging the material.
Once you're satisfied with the results, dry the shoes with a microfiber cloth or soft towel to remove any soap residue and dirt. Repeat the process if necessary. Avoid rubbing too hard, as this can wear down the material or spread any leftover dirt on the shoe.
Allow the sneakers to air dry at room temperature. They must be completely dry before you wear them for your next workout or activity. For many shoes, this can take at least eight hours.
### Note for Suede Shoes:
Suede is notoriously difficult to clean. If you notice water stains, scuff marks, or other dirt, it’s likely time for a more thorough cleaning. To remove dirt from the surface, use a suede brush or a towel, always brushing in the direction of the material’s nap.
Flecks can be removed with a suede or rubber eraser. For stubborn stains, try using a cloth dampened with white vinegar, rubbing the material in alternating directions.
