Here at Vegan Style we choose shoes and products that are well-crafted and made from quality materials. With proper care, they can last you for years to come. As with all shoes, they need to be looked after to ensure their longevity.

• Wipe down using a damp soft cloth with warm water.
• Dry with a dry cloth.
• Use a little mild soap for harsher stains.
• Air dry away from heaters and direct sunlight.
• We recommend using a leather conditioner to smooth out creases and make your shoes last longer.

• Machine washing or machine drying vegan-leather.
• Using harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia.
• Soaking or immersing in water, as it can cause damage.

• Wash canvas shoes in a washing machine on a gentle cold water cycle or by hand using detergent.
• Rubber soles can be cleaned with a magic eraser.
• Use a mesh bag to avoid warping or shrinking.
• Air dry out of direct sunlight.

• Avoid harsh cleaners

• Soak a soft cloth in warm water and mild detergent/soap.
• Gently scrub the cork surface.
• Rinse with water.
• Wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
• You can use baby wipes or alcohol wipes.
• Allow products to air dry away from direct sunlight or heaters.
• Applying a cork sealer or protector can help enhance the water resistance of your cork items.

• Harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners should be avoided as they can cause the cork to deteriorate.
• Avoid machine washing as this can damage the cork.

• Brush gently with a soft suede brush to remove dirt or dust.
• For stains, use a damp cloth or sponge with a little mild soap and gently dab the area.
• Allow the material to air dry naturally, away from heaters and direct sunlight.
• Use a suede protector spray suitable for vegan suede to help repel dirt and water.
• Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff and restore the nap (the soft, fuzzy texture) after cleaning.
• Spot test any cleaner (even mild soap) in an inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.
• Store items made of faux suede in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.

• Submerging or soaking in water, as this can damage the texture of the suede.
• Using harsh chemicals or bleach, which can cause discolouration or damage.
• Applying excessive pressure or scrubbing too hard, which can ruin the nap of the faux suede.
• Machine washing or drying.
• Folding or creasing faux suede, as it may leave permanent marks.
• Using oil-based cleaners or conditioners, as they can stain or leave a residue.
• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may fade the colour over time.

Extra Shoe Care tips

Shoes should not be worn on repetitive days.

To make your shoes last longer, try wearing them every other day. Let them have a full 24 hours to dry out to minimize the chances of foot-related issues, warping, unpleasant odors, and loss of shape.

Do not apply direct heat to shoes, such as putting them nearby a heater or fire.

If shoes are wet and you need to dry them out, instead leave them in an airy location.

Waterproof spray: You can protect new shoes by spraying them with a waterproof spray before your first wear.

If you plan on wearing your shoes out in the wet a lot, this is something to consider. Please note that not all shoes and materials are suitable for using waterproof spray on.

Cleaning: Use a soft brush and gently brush shoes after rain or once a month to remove dust and dirt.

You can also use a damp cloth and a little mild soap.

Keep shoes in tip-top condition by applying shoe cream and/or polish every so often.

Ensure that shoes are cleaned well beforehand, then apply evenly in a circular motion. Once dry, buff with a polishing brush to add shine. We have a range of eco shoe care products here.

Shape: Aid shoes to keep their shape by storing them with support.

You can use shoe trees, or stuff them with paper tissue or newspaper.

Re-soling: Elongate the life of your shoes by investing in a quality cobbler to re-sole them if and when necessary.

Make sure you don’t leave it too late to prevent permanent damage.

 

A note on caring for Pinatex

Pinatex is a natural material, so it's good idea to give it a little love every now and then by applying an eco polish. This will help to maintain the material and keep your shoes in good condition. We recommend doing this for all Pinatex products.
