Summer Sneaker Care Debunked

That’s why we are here to debunk the facts from the fiction, so your sneakers can stand the test of time.  

Myth 1: Leaving My Sneakers Out In The Sun Is The Best Way To Dry Them

More heat = sneaker defeat, and no one wants their footwear looking like shrivelled prunes. Always keep your sneakers in a well-ventilated area after cleaning them, as they are prone to cracking, discolouration, and adhesive loosening. 

Use Cure solution as your starting point for your deep cleans to remove dirt and stains effectively, then let them air dry in a cool room away from the sun for box-fresh results.

 

Myth 2: Cleaning Sneakers After Your Holiday Will Be More Convenient

Liquids, food, beach days, or walking around muddy fields, they also cause stains on your sneakers, and the longer you let the stains seep in, the harder they become to clean.

That’s where our Starter Pack comes in handy. A quick foam, wipe, and spray, and your sneakers will look fresh every time. No water needed, just instant results. 

 

Myth 3: One pair of Sneakers Is All I need For The Whole Of Summer

We know that one pair may fit many occasions; however, you should rotate your sneakers weekly so that it reduces their wear and tear over time. While they’re taking a well-deserved rest, keep them stored correctly with our Crep Protect Crates. They’re UV-protected, stackable and fit up to size 13 sneakers.
