How do I use the Crep Protect Spray? A step-by-step guide

Taking care of your sneakers is essential to keep them looking new for longer. With Crep Protect Spray you protect your shoes against dirt and moisture. We created a guide that explains how to use Crep Protect spray correctly:


Step 1: Prepare your shoes

Make sure your sneakers are free of dirt and dust. If they have just been washed, wait until they are completely dry before applying the spray.

Step 2: Apply the spray

Shake the Crep Protect can well. Hold the can about 20 cm from your shoes and spray evenly over the entire surface. Make sure you do not miss any spot so you get optimal protection.

Tip: Use the spray outdoors, in a sheltered and well-ventilated spot (for example under a canopy or in front of an open garage door). That way the spray will not blow away.

Step 3: Be careful with the amount

Too much spray can give your sneakers an unwanted shine. So do not spray too much on one spot.

Step 4: Dry and repeat

After spraying, let your shoes dry for about 10 minutes. For optimal protection, repeat steps 2 and 3 once more and let the shoes dry for another 10 minutes.

Tip: Do a water test after your shoes have dried. Sprinkle some water on your sneakers. If the water beads and rolls off, you know the protection is effective.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the spray is safe to use on various materials such as leather, suede, nubuck, and canvas. However, it is always advisable to test the product first on an inconspicuous spot.


For the best result, we recommend reapplying the spray every three to four weeks, or as soon as water no longer beads and rolls off the surface, depending on how often you wear your sneakers and the weather.

No, once the spray has dried, it is completely invisible and does not change the color or texture of your sneakers.


Yes, but it is advisable to let your shoes dry for 10 minutes after spraying. For optimal protection, it is best to apply two coats, with a drying time of 10 minutes between each coat.

The spray provides a water-repellent layer, which means water beads and rolls off the surface. Although it offers a high level of protection, it is not a fully waterproof barrier.

The spray does not block the material of your shoes in any way, so yes; your sneakers can still breathe.
The spray has a light smell when applied, but it disappears quickly after drying. We recommend using the spray outdoors, in a sheltered and well-ventilated spot.
Yes, shake the can well and spray lightly from a distance of 20 cm. Note that leather is already naturally water-resistant, so the effect is minimal.
This is caused by oversaturation. If you spray too close to your leather sneakers, you may notice a white layer on the surface. Leather is not a breathable material, so the spray cannot penetrate it, which causes the buildup. If this happens, do not try to wash it off with water. Instead, spray the leather again until it is wet. While it is wet, it will bond with the dry layer. Rub it all in with a microfiber cloth to work it in, protect your sneakers, and remove any marks.
Spray from a distance of 20 cm and apply evenly. Do not soak or saturate your shoes, and follow the instructions.
Just like most products in a spray can; store it in a cool, dry place away from open flames. The only heat your spray should be near is that of your sneakers.
