Keep them fresh

Canvas

• Let mud dry, then brush off the dry dirt with a soft brush.
• Spot-clean marks with mild soap, a little water and a soft brush or cloth.
• Wipe off the soap with a clean damp cloth. Don't soak the shoe.
• Take the laces out and hand-wash them in soapy water.

Suede-finish panels and white soles

• Brush the suede-finish toe and heel panels dry, gently, with a soft brush.
• Go easy on water and soap there. Dab marks with a barely damp cloth.
• Wipe the white rubber sole with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap.

If they get wet

Stuff them with plain paper so they keep their shape, and let them air-dry at room temperature, away from direct sun and heaters. No machine-washing and no tumble-drying: both are rough on the shape and the colours.

Between wears

Give them a quick brush when you take them off, and keep them somewhere dry and out of direct sun. Dirt comes off much more easily the same day than a week later.
