Let wool trainers dry out well in fresh air at room temperature after each wear. If they are wet, you can stuff them with newspapers to help get the moisture out of the material faster. Wool shoes can suffer irreversible damage if exposed to heat from radiators and other heat sources. The shoes should be dry before you wear them.
We recommend you do not soak wool trainers. If soiled, clean the upper with a damp cloth or a soft brush. In case of heavier soiling, a detergent for natural materials that contains lanolin will help, make sure the detergent doesn’t contain solvents. After cleaning, let the trainers dry out completely. Do not put them in the washing machine, not even on a programme for washing shoes or wool.
To protect the material, we recommend treating wool trainers with a waterproofing spray. This is an important step as it helps protect the shoes from water and dirt, making them last longer.
