Tips Before Wearing Your Pair (Waterproofing, etc)Updated 4 months ago

What should I do to extend the Life of Your Sneakers: 

Our Tips

👉  Shoe Trees
To take care of your sneakers, insert shoe trees (preferably wooden) every night. They help soften and relax your shoes, while maintaining their shape. The result: enhanced comfort and prolonged lifespan!


👉  Waterproofing
Our sneakers are already treated to resist water. However, for suede materials, it’s recommended to apply an extra layer of waterproofing, especially during rainy periods.

    Precautions to Take:

  • Avoid alcohol-based products on markings: this could damage or erase them.
  • Always test your waterproofing spray on a discreet area to ensure it's colorless and won’t stain.

👉  Cleaning

  • Surface stains: Use a lightly dampened sponge to gently clean your sneakers.
  • Soles: Scrub vigorously for a flawless result.
  • Laces: They can go in the washing machine with no problem!

For even simpler and more effective cleaning, check out our special sneaker shampoo here.


 ⚠ Attention:

CAVAL sneakers should never be machine washed: the leather and bio-materials could be damaged.
