A gentle routine.
Ready for the next adventure.

Start with these basics. Your pair’s specific care instructions come first.

  1. 01

    Brush off loose dirt

    Use a soft brush on the outsole. Be gentle around knit loops and mesh.

  2. 02

    Wipe gently

    Use a soft, lightly damp cloth. Start with water and avoid soaking the upper.

  3. 03

    Air dry naturally

    Open the shoes and let them dry fully at room temperature in a ventilated spot.

  4. 04

    Keep away from heat

    Avoid tumble dryers, radiators and hair dryers. Store dry shoes away from strong direct sun.

Care questions,
answered.

Tap a question to open the answer.

Can I machine wash my Pedibare shoes?
Use gentle spot cleaning as the default. Only use a washing machine if the care instructions for your exact style expressly allow it.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Open the closures, blot excess moisture with a towel and leave the shoes to air dry fully. Only remove an insole if it is designed to come out; do not pull at a fixed lining. Keep the shoes away from direct high heat.
How do I clean hook-and-loop straps?
Gently lift away loose fluff with a soft brush, without pulling at the loops. Fasten the straps while you clean the rest of the upper, then open the shoes for drying.
Is PU the same as leather?
No. PU stands for polyurethane, a synthetic material. The PU styles shown here have polyurethane uppers, rather than leather uppers.
Where can I find the exact materials?
Check the details on the product page for your chosen style and any label supplied with your pair. “Knit” and “mesh” describe fabric structures; they do not, on their own, tell you the fibre composition.
