Washing
Treat your sneakers with a high-quality transparent leather/suede/nubuck spray to protect them against dirt, water and stains. Repeat regularly to maintain a constant level of protection. Never put your sneakers in the washing machine.
Nubuck is vulnerable to soiling and staining. Use tools and shoe care products specifically designed to care for nubuck to clean and protect your sneakers. Wipe the nubuck panels with a special nubuck cloth regularly to remove light soiling and shiny spots. This way, you can prevent grime from building up. Wipe in several directions, using circular motions to clean all sides of the nap. Regular care will prevent the need for a leather degreaser and leather cleaner.
To remove any dirt and debris on nappa leather, wipe the surface of the item with a dry, lint-free cloth. To treat stains on nappa leather, use a cotton washcloth and lukewarm water. Make sure not to soak the leather; dab at the stain and allow the leather to dry. To clean a particularly soiled area on nubuck, use a special nubuck cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto a special nubuck cloth and wipe the entirety of the surface, then brush the nap to remove any residue. Use a protective spray after cleaning.
