Daily Habits That Protect Your Shoes
- Wipe after each wear — a quick dry wipe with a soft cloth removes dust and light dirt before it sets.
- Use a shoe horn — forcing the heel counter down when putting on shoes damages its structure over time.
- Rotate pairs — wearing the same pair every single day accelerates wear. Alternating between two pairs extends both.
- Avoid heavy rain — water weakens adhesive bonds in first copy shoes. Avoid wearing them in heavy downpours.
How to Clean First Copy Shoes
Fabric and Mesh Uppers
- Remove laces and insoles.
- Mix mild soap with lukewarm water.
- Scrub gently with a soft toothbrush in circular motions.
- Wipe away soap residue with a damp cloth.
- Stuff with newspaper and air dry at room temperature.
Synthetic Leather or PU Uppers
- Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth first.
- Use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for stubborn marks.
- Dry immediately with a clean dry cloth.
What to Avoid
- Never machine wash — agitation loosens sole bonds and distorts shape.
- Never use bleach or harsh chemicals on coloured uppers.
- Never dry with a hairdryer or near direct heat — heat warps the midsole.
How to Store First Copy Shoes
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use a shoebox or cloth bag for long-term storage.
- Insert shoe trees or newspaper to maintain shape when not wearing.
- Do not stack heavy items on top of stored shoes.
