The Care Guide

Discover our top tips for caring your shoes – made to last, just like the know-how of the artisans who create them

HYDRO LEATHER

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid soaking, machine washing and direct heat. Top Tip: Apply a leather protector regularly to help
maintain water resistance and keep the leather looking its best.

MERINO WOOL

Remove dust with a soft brush and spot clean using lukewarm water and mild wool soap. Avoid excessive water and machine washing. Top Tip: Air your shoes after each wear and let them dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

NUBUCK & SUEDE LEATHER

Never use water directly on the material. Instead, brush gently with a suede brush to remove dust and dirt, and use a suede eraser to soften marks and scuffs. Top Tip: Apply a suede protector before first wear and reapply regularly to help repel stains and moisture.

CANVAS & FABRICS

Dry-brush away dirt, then gently scrub the canvas with a mix of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and avoid soaking the shoes completely. Top tip: Once fully dry, apply a canvas-safe waterproofing spray to help repel stains, moisture, and dirt before regular wear.

CORK

Remove dust and dirt regularly with a soft brush or clean cloth. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe the cork with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding excessive water or harsh products. Top Tip: Apply a cork sealer occasionally to help protect the surface and prevent the material from drying out or cracking. Avoid using heavy oils or leather conditioners on the cork.

RUBBER

Rinse off dirt, mud, and salt with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Use mild soap for tougher grime, scrub soles with a toothbrush, and remove insoles to clean and dry separately. For white soles, remove scuffs with a melamine sponge or non-gel white toothpaste. Top tip: Keep shoes with rubber away from direct sunlight and high heat, which can cause cracking, warping, and fading over time.
