Correct and regular shoe care is definitely necessary if you want your shoes to last longer. We definitely

Prevention
The more careful you are yourself, the less your sneakers need to be cleaned. Our strong recommendation
is to use the correct protective equipment. You can protect your sneakers from, for example, dust or mud.
Yep, it's all possible in reality and not just seen in movies. To get the maximum protection layer on your
own sneakers, you should use a protective product at least 30 minutes before you put on your sneakers and
set off. Protective gear is recommended use the night before and let the shoes stand at room temperature.
Also, the protective layer should be renewed after 7-10 days because it tends to to evaporate from the shoes.

How to clean your shoes?
Take half a bowl full of room temperature water and wet the brush.
1. Spray a little cleaner on the blackest parts of the shoe and on the brush.
2. Scrub the shoes and soles clean and foamy with a brush.
3. When you have cleaned your shoes, remove the detergent with a slightly damp brush.
4. Dry the shoe by pressing it from all sides with a microfiber cloth so that all the excess detergent
is absorbed into the cloth.
5. Use shoe stretchers when drying. Do not put too much pressure on the shoes, as they may stretch
out as they dry.
6. Dry the shoes in fresh air and preferably not in direct sunlight.
But how do I clean the shoe laces?
You wet the laces with cool water, spray the cleaning product on the laces and wash them clean by rubbing
them with a brush between your hands.
