Wipe the footbed and upper with a damp cloth every few weeks, or more often if you wear them daily. A deeper clean and protective treatment every few months helps keep leather and suede in good condition and the footbed fresh.

Use products designed for the specific material. Smooth leather can take a suitable leather conditioner, while suede and nubuck need special sprays and brushes. Test on a small area first and avoid heavy polishes that could clog or stain the surface.

No. Cork footbeds and leather uppers do not cope well with machine washing, and the heat and spinning can damage the shape. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and gentle soap, then air dry them naturally in the shade.

Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it dry completely in a well-ventilated spot out of the sun. Wearing socks with closed styles can also help. Avoid soaking, as too much water can damage the cork.
