Caring for your dance shoes starts with their proper storage in a textile bag, preferably with a shoe tree or filled with moisture-absorbent paper.

• Nappa Leather
  Clean shoes after wearing by washing or brushing off dirt particles. You can make use of colour co-ordinated or clear shoe polish. Apply a thin layer of shoe polish, leave on for approximately half an hour and then polish shoe.
• Suede leather
  Suede leather can best be cleaned with a standard crepe shoe brush (see extras in our shop).
• Patent Leather
  The care of patent dance shoes is similar to that of normal street shoes. First, coarse dirt should be carefully removed with a cloth or brush. After wearing them six to ten times, some patent-lacquer polish or patent-lacquer care product should be applied. This should be spread thinly on the shoe with a soft sponge and allowed to soak in for about 30 minutes. Subsequently wipe off with a cloth.
• Brocade
  Brocade is sensitive and may become detached if it comes into frequent contact with other shoes. Always store the individual shoes separately so that they do not rub against each other in the bag or pocket.
• Chevro silver, Chevro platinum and Chevro antique
  Chevro Leather are made of high-quality laminated kidskin that is not dyed through. Scratches and scrapes cannot be removed.
• Satin
  Satin dance shoes are particularly sensitive to dirt. Under no circumstances should hard brushes, rough sponges or aggressive cleaning products be used to clean satin shoes. The shoes should only be cleaned with a soft cloth and a little water, possibly diluted with a little colourless shampoo. Please make sure that the entire shoe is cleaned, otherwise marks will appear.
• Suede soles
  Suede outsoles can become slick and slippery over time. With a special roughening brush (see extras in our shop) you can regain the original soft look of the sole by removing dirt and wax through scratching.
