SHOE CARE
What care is needed to keep our Odda shoes in the best possible condition? The main materials we work with are leather, nylon, fabric and mesh.
General cleaning
Keep them clean by using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Remember to avoid harsh chemicals that may disturb the harmony of the leather.
Preserve their color
To keep their color alive, you can apply shoe polish in the color of your shoes or a colorless one. When it has dried, remove it with a brush to give it shine and, if you want to enhance the effect, clean them with a dry and soft cloth.
Nourish your materials
Like any work of art, your leather slippers will also need to be nourished. Do it two or three times a year to prevent them from cracking or losing their vitality.
Avoid exposure to water
Just like a canvas or a painting, you should avoid getting your trainers wet. If they do, take them out naturally away from direct heat.
Storage
When your shoes are not on display, remember to store them in a cool, dry place that preserves their beauty.
Surface cleaning
Shake them gently to remove any traces of dust and rub their surface with a soft bristle brush or damp cloth.
Hand washing
For a deeper cleaning, wash them by hand with warm water and a mild detergent. You can also soak them in a mixture of water, baking soda and neutral soap, apply to the fabrics and leave to act. You can rub gently with a light brush or cloth to remove stains, avoiding using aggressive detergents that may damage the material.
Natural drying
As a final step, air dry naturally. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or using heat sources such as hair dryers, as this may deform or damage the nylon.
Additional care
Avoid rubbing and scratching when walking on rough surfaces, and remember to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or humid environments.
