You've just bought your latest eco-designed shoes made from recycled materials or you're seriously thinking about making the switch, but you're wondering about maintenance. ...but you're wondering about maintenance. Is it really worth taking care of it?
Let us clarify for you.
We're against overproduction throughout the seasons. We therefore have a limited stock because we guarantee you durable shoes, which you don't have to change every few days! What's more, the materials used are no more fragile than rubber or conventional plastic—quite the opposite, in fact.
Machine cleaning my shoes
#1- Remove the recycled cork insole to avoid damaging it during the cleaning phase.
#2- Turn on your washing machine and select a 30°C, cold cycle.
#3- Take off your shoes and start the machine, taking care to check the configuration mentioned in the previous step.
#4- Wait quietly… or rewatch an episode of Stranger Things.👀
#5- Your shoes are brand new (once dried, of course).
Cleaning my shoes with a sponge
#1- Don't panic, it's also possible to clean your ethical shoes by hand.
#2- Take a clean sponge (avoid the one full of barbecue sauce from the weekend) on your pair of white shoes.
#3- Rub with the sponge side to avoid damaging the shoe, using Marseille soap.
#4- Wait for your pair to dry...
#5- Your shoes are like the first day.
