Sneaker guide

Cleaning

From white sneakers to canvas and leather: how to clean sneakers without damaging the material. Start with the guide that fits your material, or browse the cleaning collection for cleaners and kits.

Suede

Suede needs a dry, gentle approach. Use a suede brush for dust and a cleaning eraser for stains. Below are the guides on cleaning, brush versus eraser, and the difference with smooth leather.

Suede products (brush, eraser, kits) are in the cleaning collection. For dyeing suede: Suede penetrating dye.

Protecting

After cleaning comes protection against water, dirt and road salt. Compare sprays and learn how to avoid common mistakes.

Customizing and painting

Leather paint, textile paint, midsole paint and airbrush: from your first custom to detail work. Pick a guide by technique or material, then head to the matching collection.

Laces

New laces change both fit and look. Read about materials, colors and lacing techniques, or go straight to oval, flat, rope or fluffy laces.

Shoe trees

Shoe trees keep the shape while drying and storing. Compare beech, cedar and plastic, and learn when to use them.

Repair

Tears, scratches and loose parts: how to repair sneakers or stop damage from getting worse. There is no separate repair collection; glue and repair products are mainly in customizing and cleaning.

Buying and selling

Getting sneakers ready for Marktplaats or Vinted, and knowing when replacing beats repairing.

Lifestyle and sneaker room

Storage, doormats, cutout rugs and gift ideas for sneakerheads. Ideal if you want to sort out both your collection and your room.
