Comfort That Keeps Up

Heritage and Nostalgia
Since 1997, Rocket Dog has been a fixture of the casual California style scene. We grew up right alongside the iconic Y2K era, becoming a favorite among the it-girls of the early 2000s who wanted footwear that looked as bold as it felt. We have always believed in making shoes that are meant to be worn, not just looked at on a shelf. Our designs are built for lasting quality and crafted to hold up to your daily adventures. From campus walks to sunny weekend getaways, our collection captures that authentic, effortless energy that keeps your wardrobe feeling fun, fresh, and grounded in decades of style.

How do I clean my shoes?

Please refer to the detailed material care guides below to keep your markdown find looking fresh.
Material Care FAQ
Canvas / Fabric Upper
Q: How do I clean canvas or fabric Rocket Dog shoes? A: Remove loose dirt with a dry brush first. Mix a small amount of mild detergent (like Woolite or a few drops of dish soap) with warm water, and use a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the fabric in a circular motion. Wipe away suds with a clean, damp cloth, then stuff the shoes with paper towels and air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: Can canvas sneakers go in the washing machine? A: It is best to hand-clean canvas styles rather than machine wash, as machine washing can loosen glue bonds and warp the shape over time. If you do machine wash, use a cold, gentle cycle, remove laces and insoles first, place shoes in a mesh laundry bag, and always air-dry, never tumble-dry.
Q: What household items work on canvas stains? A: A paste of baking soda and water lifts light stains and scuffs. A melamine-foam sponge works well on canvas without damaging the fabric. Diluted white vinegar helps with odor and mild discoloration.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial cleaner? A: A sneaker cleaner with a mild, non-bleaching surfactant base, often listed as coconut-derived cleansers or decyl glucoside, lifts dirt without stripping color or dye from the fabric.
PU (Faux Leather) & Faux Suede/PU-Suede Finish
Q: How do I clean faux leather (PU) shoes? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a mild soap-water solution on the cloth, then wipe dry immediately with a separate dry cloth, because PU should not sit wet, since excess moisture can cause the coating to crack over time.
Q: How do I clean the suede-finish (PU-suede) styles? A: This is a synthetic suede look on a PU base, not real suede, so avoid soaking it. Brush gently in one direction with a soft brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to lift dust and restore the nap. For scuffs, a clean pencil eraser or crepe-rubber block works well since the material will not absorb liquid the way real suede does.
Q: What household items can I use? A: A microfiber cloth with a drop of dish soap handles most everyday dirt. A dry toothbrush is a good stand-in for a suede brush on the textured finishes.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial cleaner/conditioner? A: For smooth PU, a cleaner-conditioner containing glycerin or a silicone-based conditioning agent keeps the surface flexible and prevents cracking. For the suede-finish styles, look for a cleaning kit with a rubber-based or pumice-based cleaning block rather than a liquid, since liquid cleaners can leave water spots on this texture.
Q: Can I use a protectant spray? A: Yes, a spray containing a fluoropolymer or silicone water-repellent applied before first wear helps prevent staining on both smooth PU and suede-finish styles.
Raffia / Straw-Look Fabric
Q: How do I clean raffia-style shoes? A: Raffia is a natural or straw-look woven material and should never be soaked. Wipe gently with a barely damp cloth and mild soap, working in the direction of the weave. Blot instead of rubbing to avoid fraying the fibers.
Q: What if there's a stain? A: Spot clean only, using a soft cloth dabbed in soapy water. Let air-dry fully before wearing again, away from direct sun which can dry out and split the fibers.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial cleaner? A: A natural-fiber cleaner formulated with a mild plant-based surfactant is gentler on woven fibers than standard shoe cleaners.
Mesh / Knit Upper
Q: How do I clean mesh sneakers? A: Use a soft brush with a mild detergent-water solution, working gently since mesh can snag or stretch if scrubbed too hard. Rinse the soap out with a barely damp cloth rather than running water directly over the shoe.
Q: Can mesh shoes be machine washed? A: Yes, more safely than most materials, as mesh tends to hold up well to a cold, gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Air-dry only, because heat can warp the knit structure.
Q: What household items work? A: A soft toothbrush and diluted dish soap are usually enough. A baking soda paste helps with odor control between washes.
Nylon / Webbing
Q: How do I clean nylon or webbing details? A: Nylon is durable and can be wiped down with a soapy, damp cloth. For heavier soil, a soft brush with detergent works, followed by a clean-water rinse-wipe and full air-dry.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial cleaner? A: A technical-fabric wash containing a non-detergent surfactant cleans without leaving a residue that can affect nylon's water resistance.
PVC (Jelly-Look Material)
Q: How do I clean PVC/jelly shoes? A: PVC is water-friendly, so simply rinse with water and wipe with a soapy cloth or sponge. Dry with a towel and let air-dry the rest of the way.
Q: What household items help restore shine? A: A small amount of mineral oil rubbed on with a soft cloth restores shine and prevents the PVC from looking dull or cloudy over time.
Q: Anything to avoid? A: Avoid high heat like direct sun or a heater for drying, because PVC can warp or become brittle.
Synthetic Fur / Faux Shearling
Q: How do I clean the faux fur/shearling on Rocket Dog shoes? A: Brush gently with a wide-tooth comb or soft-bristle brush in the direction the fur lays to remove dirt and fluff it back up. For spot stains, use a cloth dampened with a little mild detergent, blot instead of rubbing, then air-dry and brush again once dry to restore texture.
Q: What household items work? A: A hairbrush or wide-tooth comb works well for de-matting faux fur without pulling it out.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial cleaner? A: A fabric-safe stain remover with an enzyme-based formula lifts spots without matting the fibers. Always apply to a cloth first, never directly onto the fur.
Interior: Memory Foam & EVA Cushioning
Q: How do I clean the memory foam insole/footbed? A: Remove the insole if possible. Sprinkle with baking soda, let sit for a few hours to absorb odor and moisture, then shake or vacuum off. For light stains, dab rather than soaking with a cloth and a mild soap-water mix, since memory foam holds onto moisture.
Q: How do I clean EVA foam midsoles/footbeds? A: EVA is more water-resistant than memory foam. It can be wiped down directly with a damp soapy cloth or even rinsed lightly under water, then air-dried.
Q: What household items help with odor? A: Baking soda left in the shoe overnight is the most effective at-home odor remedy for both memory foam and EVA. Dryer sheets tucked into the shoe overnight are a common quick fix too.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial odor spray? A: An odor spray built around sodium bicarbonate or a zinc-based odor neutralizer actually neutralizes odor rather than just masking it with fragrance, and both are safe on memory foam and EVA.
Outsole (Rubber, EVA, TPR, PU, PVC soles)
Q: How do I clean the outsole? A: Use an old toothbrush with a paste of baking soda and water to scrub grooves and treads. Rinse the brush and wipe away residue with a damp cloth.
Q: How do I get the outsole white again? A: A melamine-foam sponge is very effective on rubber and EVA soles for scuffs and yellowing. For deeper discoloration, a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, left on for 10 to 15 minutes then scrubbed off, works well, though you should test on a small area first since peroxide can lighten some colored soles.
Q: What should I look for in a commercial midsole cleaner? A: A cleaner combining a mild surfactant with a fine abrasive lifts ground-in dirt from tread grooves without discoloring the rubber or foam.
