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

Caring for your sneakers is essential to keep them looking new for longer. With Crep Protect Spray, you can protect your shoes from dirt and moisture. We've created a guide explaining how to use Crep Protect Spray correctly:


Step 1: Preparing your shoes

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

Step 2: Applying the spray

Shake the Crep Protect spray can well. Hold the can about 20 cm from your shoes and spray evenly over the entire surface. Be sure not to miss any spots to ensure optimal protection.

Tip: We recommend using the spray indoors or in a sheltered area such as a shed or garage. This prevents the spray from evaporating in the wind.

Step 3: Be careful with the amount

Too much spray can give your sneakers an unwanted shine. Therefore, don't spray too much in one spot.

Step 4: Dry and repeat

Let your shoes dry for about 10 minutes after spraying. For optimal protection, repeat steps 2 and 3 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 up, you know the protection is effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the spray is safe for use on various materials such as leather, suede, nubuck, and canvas. However, it's always recommended to test the product on an inconspicuous area first.


For best results, we recommend reapplying the spray every three to four weeks, depending on how often you wear your sneakers and the weather conditions.

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


Yes, but it's recommended to let your shoes dry for 10 minutes after spraying. For optimal protection, it's best to apply two coats, allowing 10 minutes for each coat to dry.

The spray creates a water-repellent layer , meaning water beads off the surface. While it offers a high level of protection, it's not a completely waterproof barrier.

The spray doesn't block the material of your shoes in any way, so yes, your sneakers can still breathe.
The spray has a slight odor when applied, but this quickly dissipates after drying. We recommend using the spray outdoors.
This depends on the frequency of use and the size of the shoes. On average, you can fully treat 8-10 pairs of shoes with one can of spray.
Yes, shake the can well and spray lightly from a distance of 20 cm. Note that leather is naturally waterproof, so the effect is minimal.
This is caused by oversaturation. If you spray too close to your leather sneakers, you may notice a white film on the surface. Leather is not a breathable material, so the spray cannot penetrate it, causing the build-up. If this happens, don't try to wash it off with water. Instead, spray the leather again until it's wet. While it's 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.
Like most aerosol products, store it in a cool, dry place away from open flames. The only heat your spray should be near is that of your sneakers.
