Leather shoe care
Leather shoes should always be waterproofed 1-2 times before use to protect against water, dirt and grime. To maintain the leather's beautiful surface and natural properties, we recommend regular care with waterproofing and leather products.
Here's how you do it:
- Clean:
Wipe the shoe with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Let it air dry completely at room temperature and avoid heat. - Care with leather grease:
When the shoe is dry, massage in leather grease with a soft cloth in circular motions. For discoloration, dab shoe polish in the color of the shoe on the exposed areas. Let the shoe dry again. - Finish with waterproofing:
When the shoe is completely dry, finish with a layer of waterproofing for extra protection.
If the shoes have gotten wet, they must dry completely before wearing them again. Avoid radiators or heaters as heat can damage both materials and fit.

Suede care
We recommend impregnating your shoes 1-2 times before use and then regularly to protect against water, dirt and grime.
If the suede has become smooth or shiny, it can easily be freshened up with gentle treatment.
Here's how to do it:
- Cleaning:
Gently wipe the shoe with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Let it dry completely at room temperature - without heat. - Color refresh:
If the color has faded, use a colored care product that matches the shoe. Let it dry thoroughly. - Surface refresh:
Brush gently with a suede brush to lift the fibers and restore the soft, matte texture. - Finish with waterproofing:
When the shoe is completely dry, apply a coat of waterproofing to seal and protect the surface.
If the shoes have gotten wet, allow them to dry completely before wearing them again. Avoid radiators or heaters as heat can damage both materials and fit.

Product care for natural rubber
Natural rubber contains natural oils, which evaporate over time and can lead to drying out. To keep the rubber supple, we recommend regular care with a suitable care product or a mild oil.
Here's how to do it:
- Cleaning:
Wipe the boots with a damp cloth or sponge. For heavy soiling, they can be rinsed with mild soap under water - avoid getting the lining wet. Dry with a soft cloth or let them air dry. - Care with oil or conditioner:
When the boots are dry, apply a product designed for natural rubber - or use an unflavored oil. Let them dry at room temperature. - Finishing:
Wipe off excess oil with a clean, dry cloth.
If the boots are wet on the inside, air dry them completely - without using heat. Remove the insole and dry it separately. Store the boots in a dark and cool place - avoid sunlight, which can damage both color and material.

Textile shoe care
For optimal protection against water, dirt and grime, the shoe should be waterproofed 1-2 times before use and regularly thereafter. This helps preserve the properties of the material and extends the life of the shoe.
How to do it:
- Clean the surface:
Brush away loose dirt with a dry, soft brush. Shoelaces can be washed in lukewarm soapy water. Use a dry toothbrush to clean Velcro closures. - Wash gently:
If the shoe is still dirty, wipe the fabric and sole with a damp cloth or sponge wrung out in mild soapy water. Let the shoes air dry at room temperature. - Finish with waterproofing:
When the shoes are completely dry, impregnate them to protect against wear and external influences.
If the shoes have gotten wet, dry them completely before wearing them again. Avoid radiators or heating cabinets as heat can damage both materials and fit.

Product care for bamboo socks
To maintain comfort, fit and color, we recommend washing bamboo socks gently:
- Wash at 30° with similar colors
- Use a mild, fragrance-free detergent without strong enzymes and preferably with wool or silk soap.
Avoid using chlorine, bleach and traditional tumble drying as this can damage the bamboo fibers. We recommend air-drying in the shade as direct sunlight can bleach the colors.
If tumble drying is desired, only the most gentle program should be used - preferably with cold air. Gentle washing and drying not only extends the life of your socks, but is also a more sustainable choice that protects both the environment and your energy consumption.

Product care for rainwear
Our rainwear is made from a waterproof and dirt-repellent material that makes it easy to keep clean in everyday life. Often a damp cloth will be enough to remove dirt - avoiding frequent machine washing that wears the material unnecessarily.
Washing instructions:
- Machine wash at 30°
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not bleach
- Do not iron
- Do not dry clean
Following these guidelines will preserve the functionality and appearance of your rainwear for a long time.
