Before 1st use

Don't wait until your sneakers are dirty to take care of them. Even before you wear them for the first time, you need to protect them.

For smooth leathers, apply a nourishing milk. As the name suggests, this solution is designed to nourish the material to prevent it from cracking over time. Leave to act for at least 12 hours (overnight, for example), then polish your shoes with a clean, dry cloth.

For suede and nubuck leathers, waterproof your sneakers evenly and allow them to dry for a few hours before using them for the first time. Also remember to place shoe trees inside your sneakers when you're not wearing them.

In this way, they retain their natural shape.

How to care for your sneakers 

For smooth leather, start by dusting your sneakers. After removing the laces, actively brush your shoes with the scraper brush to remove all dirt and dust. For regular maintenance, brush your shoes after use. Next, place a dab of Renovator Care on the chamois and apply it to the leather in a circular motion. This will deeply nourish the leather. Leave to dry for around 30 minutes. 

For suede and nubuck leathers, after removing the laces, actively brush your shoes with the scraper brush to remove all dirt and dust. For regular maintenance, brush your shoes after use. Then it's time to rub out stains. Using the suede eraser, gently rub in both directions to remove stubborn stains. Finally, spray waterproofing evenly about 30cm from the shoe. Leave to dry for a few hours.
