Protection

One of the first steps to caring for your shoes is protection. Use a Sneaker Protector keeps your sneakers looking newer and cleaner for longer. Go for a non-toxic, water-based formula that acts as in invisible protective barrier against dirt and stains, making repeat cleaning easier. 

It also might be worth using an Odor Protector. Go for one that prevents and eliminates unwanted odour-emitting bacteria with a pro-bacterial formula. 

If your shoes are leather, use a product specific for Leather Care. A water-based cream that combines proprietary nutrients and sealants will nourish and protect leather helping to restore that ‘new shoe’ look and finish. Something with conditioner also protects your shoes from UV rays and creates a water-resistant seal. 

Cleaning

Try and get a cleaner that is safe to use on most materials including suede, nubuck, leather and canvas.
