Clean them by hand
Most barefoot sneakers aren’t meant to go in the washing machine. Here’s how to clean them properly:
- Remove the laces and insoles
- Use a soft brush or cloth soaked in lukewarm water with a bit of gentle soap
- Gently clean the surface of the shoes
- Rinse with clean water and let them air dry, out of direct sunlight
Careful with different materials
- Textile sneakers: You can use a mixture of water and a little baking soda to remove stains.
- Leather sneakers: Use special cleaning products for leather and avoid soaking them.
How to get rid of shoe odor?
Odor in sneakers is usually caused by bacteria and moisture. Here are some tips to get rid of it:
- Ventilate regularly: After wearing, let your shoes dry out in the air.
- Remove the insoles: After intensive wear, take out the insoles and let them dry completely.
- Wear quality socks: Socks made from natural materials help absorb sweat.
- Alternate your shoes: Don’t wear the same pair every day—give them time to dry.
