Footwear Care Guidelines

Thank you for purchasing your footwear from Shoozee. Here are some tips to ensure that your shoes last longer, retain their appearance, and remain comfortable to wear.

PROTECT NEW SHOES

Pre-treat your new shoes before wearing them with an appropriate protector (e.g., Leather, Suede, and Fabric Protectors). This will waterproof and stain-proof the shoes and ultimately prolong their life.

GIVE YOUR SHOES A REST

Do not wear the same shoes two days in a row, as shoes can take a whole day to dry out. Perspiration build-up is a major reason for material failure.

DRY YOUR WET SHOES CAREFULLY

Never put wet shoes in front of a fire or radiator as heat causes premature damage to uppers and soles. Rather, let them dry naturally at room temperature and stuff them with clean paper to maintain their shape and fit.

RIGHT WAY TO CLEAN SHOES

Leather Footwear

  • Leather is a natural material and needs regular care.
  • If soiled, allow the mud to dry first before cleaning.
  • Remove the mud with a blunt instrument and dab off the remaining dirt with a clean damp cloth.
  • Apply a quality shoe cream or wax polish to clean the leather uppers.
  • Buff with a clean dry cloth or soft bristle brush.

Nubuck and Suede Shoes

  • Frequent use of stain/water protector will maintain the appearance.
  • Do not use a wire brush as this damages the surface.
  • Clean with either a stiff nylon or hard rubber brush.
  • To remove stains, rub carefully using either soapy water or a suede shampoo.
  • Expect a slight color change.

Fabric Shoes

  • Avoid wearing in wet and muddy conditions.
  • To clean, only use specialized cleaning products or soapy water.
  • Test the cleaning product on a small area of the shoe first.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that your footwear remains in excellent condition for as long as possible.
