Shoe care products explained
Waterproofing sprays form a protective layer on the surface of the shoe that repels water and dirt. They are suitable for leather, nubuck, suede and textiles, and with regular use, the material stays looking good and well-maintained for longer.
Shoe cleaners remove dirt and stains without damaging the material. Organic, plant-based cleaners are particularly gentle. Foam cleaners are suitable for delicate surfaces, whilst care creams for smooth leather maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
Shoe brushes help to loosen dirt and refresh the surface of nubuck and suede leather. Crepe brushes are particularly gentle on delicate materials. For soles and seams, brushes with firmer bristles are suitable for removing even stubborn dirt.
Special care creams and waterproofing sprays are suitable for smooth leather shoes. The care cream keeps the leather supple and prevents it from drying out. The waterproofing spray provides additional protection against moisture, and cleaners remove dirt before treatment.
Nubuck and suede leather should be cleaned with a special brush. If necessary, clean with a damp cloth and, once dry, roughen up the leather again with a brush. To ensure long-lasting protection against moisture, waterproofing is important.
Remove coarse dirt with a brush and then clean with lukewarm water. Even though GORE-TEX shoes are fitted with a water-repellent membrane, they should be waterproofed regularly for protection.
