Finally, your new shoes have arrived - and they’re everything you imagined. Love at first sight. Naturally, you want them to look this good for as long as possible so you can enjoy them time and time again. But how do you actually keep your shoes in top shape? We’re here to share our best shoe care tips with you.

Why is shoe care so important?

Taking care of your shoes isn’t just about looks - it’s about longevity and comfort too. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance prevent premature wear, preserve the shape, and keep your shoes feeling as good as they look. It’s simple: when you put so much thought into your outfit, your shoes deserve the same attention.

How to take care of different materials

Each material has its own personality - and its own care routine. Here's how to give every pair the treatment it deserves:

How to take care of suede shoes

To maintain the soft texture of your suede shoes and keep them safe from moisture and dirt, treat them regularly with a water-repellent spray. Our Premium Repellent Spray is ideal. Don’t forget to brush them gently with a suede brush — this lifts dirt and revives the nap. With a little love, your suede shoes will stay flawless for years.

 

How to take care of leather shoes

Almost everyone owns a pair of leather shoes - and for good reason. Leather is timeless, durable, and stylish. To keep yours looking their best, use a protective spray and wipe them down with a soft brush or damp cloth when needed. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. For small scuffs or marks, apply a clear shoe cream or polish. Treat your leather well, and it’ll stay with you for the long haul.

How to take care of mesh shoes

Lightweight, breathable, and sporty - mesh is a sneaker favorite. To keep mesh shoes fresh, clean them regularly with a soft brush and mild cleaner like our Cleaning Solution. Let them air dry in the shade (never in direct sunlight). Finish with a water- and stain-repellent spray to protect from the elements.

How to take care of metallic shoes

We get it - metallic shoes are hard to resist. If they’re your go-to statement piece, you’ll want to keep that shine intact. Clean them gently with a soft cloth and a suitable cleaner - our Cleaning Solution works well on metallic finishes too. Always store metallic shoes in a cool, dry space to prevent moisture or heat damage.

How to protect your shoes from rain

Rain can be a challenge, especially when you're wearing your favorite pair. But don’t worry - we’ve got some tried-and-true tips. Start by applying a water-repellent spray regularly. This creates a protective barrier, keeping moisture and dirt out. After wearing them in wet weather, place your shoes on a rack to air out and dry completely. This helps prevent trapped moisture and unwanted odors. With just a little effort, your shoes can weather any storm - and still look great.
