FOOTWEAR

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR EVA SANDALS

  • Rinse your sandals thoroughly with plain water to quickly remove any dirt or debris and use a soft cloth to wipe away any remaining dirt and debris from the shoe surface.
  • If additional cleaning is needed, mix a few drops of mild dish detergent with water in a bucket or sink and then put your shoes in to soak.
  • Using an old toothbrush or sponge, dip it into the soapy water and gently brush the canvas straps and EVA sole in circular motions to clean up any stains.
  • Rinse your shoes thoroughly and allow them to completely dry in a well-ventilated area to let the shoes dry naturally.
  • DO NOT put in a washing machine or dryer as this will damage the shoes.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR LEATHER SANDALS

  • Dirt and other debris can embed into leather. Use a shoe brush or damp soft cloth to remove excess dirt and debris from the upper and insole before you start polishing.
  • To clean the EVA side sole mix a solution of dish soap and luke-warm water, dip a sponge or old tooth brush it the soapy water and gently brush the EVA sole in circular motions to clean up any dirt. Allow them to completely dry in a well-ventilated area to let the shoes dry naturally.
  • Ensure leather is dry and use a clean, dry soft cloth and use a leather dubbin to treat and seal the nubuck leather. At brûlée we use a locally produced leather Dubbin on all the leather shoes when finishing. Dubbin is a wax product used to soften, condition and waterproof leather and we would recommend it on all nubuck leather products.
  • DO NOT put in a washing machine or dryer as this will damage the shoes.
