Choose the Right Care for Your Shoes
Different footwear materials require different cleaning and maintenance methods. Always check your footwear manufacturer's care instructions before using a new product.
Sneakers & Everyday Shoes
Soft brushes, cleaning cloths, shoe bags, crease protectors, and general shoe-care accessories may be suitable depending on the shoe's material and construction.
For colored or delicate materials, test cleaning products or tools on a small, less-visible area first.
Leather Shoes
Use accessories and products specifically suitable for the type of leather being treated.
Avoid excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning tools unless recommended by the footwear manufacturer.
Suede & Nubuck
These materials can require specialized care. Use brushes and cleaning accessories specifically intended for suede or nubuck where indicated.
Avoid using standard leather polish or excessive water unless the product instructions explicitly state that it is suitable.
Shoe Trees & Shape Keepers
Check:
- Shoe size compatibility
- Product dimensions
- Adjustment range
- Material
- Intended footwear type
Do not force an oversized shoe tree or shape keeper into footwear.
Crease Protectors
Fit can vary depending on shoe size, shape, and internal construction. Check the dimensions and sizing information provided on the individual product page.
Shoe Storage & Travel Bags
Compare the listed bag or organizer dimensions with your footwear before ordering, particularly for boots and larger shoe sizes.
Important
If you're unsure whether a cleaning accessory is suitable for a particular material or finish, test it carefully on a small hidden area before treating the entire shoe.
