Don’t Shrink It

Decode care labels, rescue stains, and clean shoes without wrecking your favorites.

Clean your shoes by their material

The right way to clean a shoe depends entirely on what it’s made of — soaking suede, machine-washing glued pairs, or force-drying leather are the kinds of mistakes that ruin them. Pick your upper material above for a routine care plan, then add a problem like scuffs, salt or mud for a targeted fix adjusted to that material. Test any method on a hidden spot first.
