How do I clean my shoes? Because our tall boots collection features smooth synthetic leather (PU), faux suede, and textured detailing, care depends on your specific material. Wipe smooth faux leather surfaces with a damp soapy cloth and dry immediately with a soft towel. For suede-finish styles, avoid soaking and brush gently in one direction with a dry brush to lift dust and restore the texture.
Material Care FAQ
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, PU shouldn't 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 won't 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 (dimethicone) keeps the surface flexible and prevents cracking. For the suede-finish styles, look for a cleaning kit with a rubber/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.
Interior: Memory Foam
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, don't soak, with a cloth and a mild soap-water mix, since memory foam holds onto moisture.
Q: What household items help with odor? A: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) 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 (zinc ricinoleate) actually neutralizes odor rather than just masking it with fragrance, 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 10–15 minutes then scrubbed off, works well, 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 (calcium carbonate or silica-based) lifts ground-in dirt from tread grooves without discoloring the rubber or foam.
