Care instructions for your Superga shoes: How to keep them always perfect!
Care Instructions
Superga shoes are a timeless style icon. To preserve their beauty and quality over time, it’s essential to take proper care of them. Follow this guide for effective and safe cleaning.
How to clean your Superga shoes
1. Preparation
Remove the laces for a more thorough cleaning. If the laces are dirty, you can wash them separately with warm water and mild soap.
Before cleaning, we recommend testing the cleaner on a small hidden area, such as the inside edge of the tongue, to ensure it doesn't alter the color or material of the shoes.
2. Cleaning by Material
Canvas
Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a gentle detergent. Gently rub the surface in circular motions.
Leather or synthetic materials
Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent, avoiding saturating the material with too much water.
Suede
Remove dirt with a specific suede brush, avoiding the use of water to maintain the texture.
How to clean the rubber of Superga shoes
The white rubber strip, a signature feature of Superga shoes, may become dirty over time. Here's the best way to restore it to its original look:
Cover the upper part of the shoe: to prevent the grease remover from contacting the fabric.
Cleaning: Dip an old toothbrush in a solution of water and grease remover, then gently scrub the rubber in circular motions.
Rinsing and drying: Wipe off any residue with a damp cloth and let the shoes air dry.
3. Drying: The Final Touch
After cleaning, let your Superga shoes dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated spot, away from direct sunlight or other heat sources, for the best results.
To help your Superga shoes retain their shape and for a faster drying, gently stuff them with a rolled-up cloth.
By following these simple steps, your Superga shoes will remain clean and impeccable, ready to accompany you on every occasion.
To ensure proper care, avoid:
Washing machine and dryer: To protect the structure and materials of your Superga shoes, it's best to avoid using the washing machine or dryer.
Direct exposure to the sun or heat sources: Intense heat can alter the shape and color of the shoes.
