Cleaning and Care

Taking care of your footwear and apparel extends the life of every pair, keeps them looking and performing their best, and protects the investment you've made. The right products depend on what you're caring for, what materials it's made from, and what kind of wear it's seeing. Below is a breakdown of the main cleaning and care categories, with the products and solutions you'll find in each.

Laces Replacement laces give old shoes a fresh look or get you back in action when your originals wear out, break, or stretch out. They come in a wide range of lengths, materials, and styles, including flat laces for casual sneakers, round laces for athletic shoes and boots, waxed laces for dress shoes, and heavy-duty laces for work boots and hiking boots. Bright colors and patterns also let you customize the look of your shoes without buying a new pair.

Cleaning Cleaning products keep your shoes looking fresh by removing dirt, mud, salt stains, and grime that build up over time. The category includes shoe cleaning solutions and foams, soft-bristle brushes for delicate uppers, stiff brushes for outsoles and rugged materials, and specialty wipes for quick touch-ups on the go. Using the right cleaner for the material, whether canvas, mesh, knit, or leather, helps you avoid damage and get the best results.

Leather Care Leather care products clean, condition, and protect leather footwear and accessories, keeping the material soft, supple, and resistant to cracking. The category includes leather cleaners for removing dirt and salt, conditioners that restore natural oils and prevent drying, and polishes that bring back shine and color. Suede and nubuck need their own dedicated brushes and sprays, since the soft napped surface requires different care than smooth leather.

Waterproofing Waterproofing products add or restore water resistance to footwear and apparel, helping keep you dry in rain, snow, and wet conditions. The category includes spray-on waterproofing for most materials, wax-based treatments for full-grain leather boots, and specialty sprays formulated for suede, nubuck, and technical fabrics. Regular reapplication is key, since waterproofing wears off over time with use and washing.

Care Kits Care kits bundle the essential products for cleaning, conditioning, and protecting your footwear into a single package, making maintenance easy and convenient. Common kits include sneaker care kits with cleaner, brush, and microfiber cloth, leather boot care kits with cleaner, conditioner, and polish, and all-in-one kits that cover multiple materials. They're a great pick for first-time buyers, gifts, or anyone who wants everything they need in one box.

Stinky Feet Fixes Stinky feet fixes tackle odor at the source, keeping your shoes and feet fresh even after long days of wear. The category includes shoe deodorizing sprays that neutralize odor inside the shoe, odor-absorbing inserts and sachets that sit inside shoes between wears, antibacterial sprays that target the bacteria causing the smell, and foot powders that keep feet dry throughout the day. Pairing these with moisture-wicking socks and giving shoes time to dry between wears makes a big difference.
