Cleaning & care of your woody shoes
So you can enjoy your woodys for a long time!
Congratulations on buying your new favorite shoes from woody! Loving care is essential so that you can enjoy these high-quality shoes for a long time. Here are the top tips to maintain the beauty, comfort and value of your shoes:
The leather
Oiled or greased leather
1st Step
Before you start cleaning, you should remove dirt and dust from your shoes. A small brush or cotton cloth works best for this.
2nd Step
For the care of the leather you can use our " woody wood & leather care " or a standard leather care product. Less is more here! Never apply the conditioner to damp shoes - wait until they are dry.
3rd Step
Distribute the leather care with a clean brush or cloth and rub in! Waxed or greased rough leather types require special care to keep their appearance for a long time. Please note that the color may darken slightly due to care.
Smooth leather or natural fur
Smooth leather
Smooth leather does not require much maintenance. Wipe down the shoes with a lint-free cotton cloth. To remove coarser dirt, you can also slightly dampen the cloth. A thin layer of leather conditioner can be applied for extra shine.
Natural fur
If your woody's fur should get dirty, simply let it dry well (not near strong sources of heat or in direct sunlight). After that, you can brush it gently to remove the dirt
The wooden sole
Water + Soap + Sponge = ✔
The wooden sole is easy to clean with soapy water and a sponge! After drying (air drying) apply a thin layer of our wood & leather care . This closes the pores of the wood again and the wood retains its natural properties for longer! If not available or if you are sensitive to odors or have allergies, you can alternatively use baby oil, for example, to care for the wood.
After cleaning
After cleaning, allow the woody shoe to air dry at room temperature. If your water is very calcareous, we recommend using distilled water.
Important instructions:
Never dry your woody with any tools!!! Do not place on heaters of any kind. Do not use a hair dryer or anything similar. Do not place in the blazing sun. Those who treat and care for their shoes well will enjoy them for a long time!
Please wear our shoes regularly, because this is the only way for the rubber to retain its natural flexibility! Store your woodys in a dark and dry place.
