• Remove the laces and insoles. Wash laces separately in warm, soapy water. 
• Tap the soles together to loosen dirt, then brush off dry mud or dust. 
• If the insoles are smelly, sprinkle with baking soda and let sit for a few hours before brushing off. 

• Combine a small amount of mild detergent (or dish soap) with lukewarm water in a bowl. 
• Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals — these can damage colour and materials. 

• Dip your soft brush or cloth into the soapy water and gently scrub the surface. 
• Work in small circles, don’t soak the fabric. 
• For leather parts, use a damp cloth instead of scrubbing directly. 

• Use the same brush with more pressure to clean the rubber soles. 
• A magic eraser works well for stubborn scuffs or yellowing midsoles. 

• Wipe everything down with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. 
• Pat dry with a towel, then stuff the shoes with paper (not newspaper — the ink can transfer). 
• Let them air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heaters. 

No shortcuts here: heat is the enemy. 

• Always air-dry at room temperature 
• Avoid direct sunlight and heaters 
• Stuff them with paper towels to help keep shape 
• Store in a cool, dry place (ideally in a shoe bag or box) 

Don’t be panic. Act fast but always stay gentle. 

• For suede: use a suede brush or eraser 
• For canvas or leather: spot-clean with diluted vinegar or baking soda paste 
• For oil-based stains: we recommend using Terre de Sommières, a highly absorbent powder made from fine French clay 

A few habits that make all the difference. 

• Spray with a water- and stain-repellent before first wear 
• Replace laces when they start looking tired, it freshens up the whole shoe 
• Use a shoe tree or crumpled paper to maintain shape 
• Travel with dust bags to avoid scuffs or other damage
