We recommend that all leather shoes be waterproofed 2–3 times before use.

If the shoes are used daily, they should be waterproofed approximately every 14 days (especially important for winter shoes and boots). Stains, dirt, etc. on the leather can be removed with a damp cloth or cleaned with combi cleaner.

To refresh the colour and condition the leather, use shoe cream. For black shoes we recommend black shoe cream, while other colours can be cared for with a matching shade or a neutral shoe cream.

If you need a quick refresh, you can use a shoeshine sponge for a fast touch-up. However, shoeshine and combi cleaner cannot replace care with shoe cream.

You can also use leather grease, but since leather grease and shoe cream do not mix well, you should choose one or the other. The leather may become slightly darker after applying leather grease, but you won’t need to waterproof the shoes, as it leaves a protective layer on the leather.

We recommend that all suede and nubuck shoes be waterproofed 2-3 times before use.

If the shoes are worn daily, they should be waterproofed approximately every 14 days (especially important for winter shoes and boots). Suede and nubuck must not be wiped with a damp cloth. Instead, let the shoe dry and brush the dirt away with a Ruskindsbørste - if this is not enough you can use a combi cleaner that cleans deeply and removes most stubborn stains. After this, treat with Ruskindspleje and/or waterproofing.

To care for suede and nubuck, use Ruskindspleje, which is great for refreshing the color and moisturizing the suede/nubuck. Gently dab the shoe with the liquid using the application sponge. You can use Ruskindspleje as needed when the shoes need a colour refresh - optionally just on the toe of the shoe, which is often a bit more exposed.

The glitter is applied on top of a piece of canvas with a genuine leather lining on the back. The shoe does not require any care or waterproofing treatment, as the glitter and canvas are partly water-repellent on their own and waterproofing or other care products can make the glitter dull. If a little dirt gets on the shoes, you can very gently use a damp, wrung-out cloth to "dab" it away.

Some glitter residue from production may shed slightly during the first days of use. The surface is delicate when in direct contact with hard, abrasive surfaces, from impacts and knocks, or other improper use.

Canvas/textile is more delicate than leather shoes. Therefore, it is important to waterproof them before use and at regular intervals. Apply the waterproofing spray from a distance of about 30 cm from the shoe to avoid stains from the waterproofing liquid.

Our gummistøvler are made of 100% natural rubber and should be regularly cared for with rubber boot care, e.g. a silicone product that prevents dirt, salt and other grime from working into the natural rubber and discoloring the gummistøvlen. At the same time, this care extends the boot's lifespan, as the natural rubber is kept soft and flexible and does not dry out, which can cause cracks or discoloration.

Patent leather and croc-embossed shoes should not be treated with waterproofing spray, so do not impregnate them. Patent leather requires virtually no maintenance. A damp cloth is usually enough to remove dirt and grime. You can also buy a patent leather care product that cleans and conditions the finish and gives it a beautiful shine. Patent leather care is colorless and therefore suitable for all patent colors.

However, be aware that if the patent surface gets scratched, you cannot repair or polish the patent finish – as you often can on a regular leather surface.

Natural rubber is a natural material that can react to both heat and cold. Therefore, you should not leave shoes with natural rubber soles in direct sunlight on a summer day - as the sole can melt in extreme heat and become deformed.

Cold, for example from storage, can make the sole hard – but it will quickly become soft and flexible again at room temperature. If the sole is very hard, you can help the process along: place the shoe on a piece of paper on a medium-warm radiator under supervision for about 30–60 minutes, until the sole is soft and flexible again.

Natural rubber soles remain soft and comfortable at normal temperatures and require no special care in everyday use.

If the natural rubber sole becomes sticky, it can be easily repaired by a cobbler. The cobbler can remove a thin layer of the natural rubber sole and then apply talcum powder.

How much our feet sweat varies a lot. But especially lined winter boots and sandals can get very warm inside, and the sole of the shoe can become damp. That’s why you should give your favorite shoes a couple of days' rest now and then so they have a chance to dry completely. This reduces unpleasant odors and creates a better environment for your feet.

Leather can - just like textiles - release a little dye at first when you wear the shoes. The amount of excess dye varies and depends on how much moisture/sweat is released from the foot. The release of excess dye can be most noticeable in the darker colors, but can also occur with lighter types of leather. The excess dye fades after a while and is not harmful. We therefore recommend starting with a dark sock, as the excess dye can be visible on white socks.

Regular use of a waterproofing/impregnating product can seal most dye stains from leather and protect the leather from moisture and water.

You cannot wash leather the way you wash excess dye out of textiles in a washing machine. However, if you want to remove the excess dye, you can, with caution, make a solution of 1 part water and 1 part clear household vinegar (ratio 1:1) and, using a cloth, wipe the lining inside the shoe or boot, possibly repeating a couple of times to remove the worst of the excess dye. This method cannot be used on the upper leather/outside surface.

When the season changes and the shoes need to be packed away, you should care for them. That way you'll also look forward to unpacking beautiful shoes when the season returns.

Clean the shoes according to the material as described above and clean the soles thoroughly. Once the shoes are dry, it's best to pack them in a shoebox, whose dry environment is the ideal place to store shoes and helps ensure they are not crushed or covered in dust.

Shoes should ideally not be stored too warm or too cold; they are best kept at room temperature.
