FAQ
FAQ subtitle
How does it work?
Hydrophobic sounds exactly like what it is. We give your shoes a liquid phobia. The hydrophobic barrier repels most liquids so they don’t get through. They just float on the protective layer waiting for you to wipe them off.
How long does it protect my shoes?
If you wear your kicks every day, you should only need to reapply every 3-4 weeks.
Will it change or affect the colour, look or performance of my kicks?
No way. Ever. Ever ever. Once the spray dries it’s completely invisible.
What is the best way to apply it?
Spray from a distance of 20cm and apply evenly – don’t drench or saturate your shoes and you’ll be good. Follow the instructions!
Will my shoes still be able to breathe?
The Spray doesn’t block the materials in any way, so yes; your kicks are free to breathe.
Can I use this on leather?
Yes when using shake the can well and spray lightly from a distance of 20cm. Please note leather is already waterproof so the effect is minimal.
My leather sneakers have a white residue on them, after applying the Spray
This occurs by over saturation. If you spray too close to your leather sneakers, you may notice a white film on the surface. Leather isn’t a breathable material so the spray may not penetrate into it causing the buildup. If you do happen to make this mistake, don’t bother trying to wash it away with water, as Crep Protect is made to keep your sneakers safe from liquid. Rather, spray onto the leather again until it’s wet. While wet it will bond with the dry layer. Finally rub it all in with microfiber cloth to work it in, protecting your sneakers and removing any marks.
How should I store it?
Like most things that come in a can; a cool dry place away from any flames is fine. The only heat your Spray should be near is your kicks.
How many shoes can I clean with one Crep Protect Kit?
One kit is all you need to clean up to 50 pairs of shoes.
Can one brush really be safe to use on any and all materials?
Yes it can. We put the brush through years of research and development and came up with something that is safe to use on all shoe materials.
Can this clean Suede or Nubuck materials?
Yes, take caution not to use excessive water and brush carefully. Note dyed suede can bleed, which means you should avoid getting them wet at all. We recommend always testing first in an inconspicuous area for this bleed.
After using Crep Protect Cleaner, how long will it take my trainers to dry?
We recommend letting them dry for 24 hours.
What is the cleaning solution made?
The solution is made from 98% natural ingredients, including coconut, jojoba, and water.
Is there a difference between the Wipes and the Cure Cleaning Kit?
The Wipes are intended for a quick touch up, but if you’re looking for a full, deeper clean, then The Cleaning Kit is what you need.
