Before first use

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

For smooth leather, apply a nourishing milk. As its name suggests, this solution is designed to nourish the material to prevent it from cracking over time. Leave it on 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; let them dry for a few hours before first use. Also, remember to place shoe trees inside your sneakers when you're not wearing them.

They will thus retain their natural shape.

How to maintain your sneakers?

For smooth leathers, start by dusting your sneakers. After removing the laces, actively brush your shoes with the shoe brush to remove all dirt and dust. For regular maintenance, brush them after use. Then, place a small amount of renovating care on the chamois cloth and apply it to the leather in a circular motion. This will deeply nourish the leather. Let them dry for approximately 30 minutes.

For suede and nubuck leathers, after removing the laces, actively brush your shoes with the shoe brush to remove all dirt and dust. For regular maintenance, brush them after use. Then, it is necessary to erase the stains. Using the suede eraser, gently rub in both directions of the pile to remove stubborn stains. Finally, spray the waterproofing product evenly about 30cm away from the shoe. Let it dry for a few hours.
