How to Take Care of Your Sneakers

Your sneakers aren’t just footwear, they’re part of your everyday style. Whether you’re rocking performance runners, basketball heat, or lifestyle classics, keeping them fresh should be part of your routine.

Here’s a simple, effective guide on how to take care of your sneakers using Crep Protect and Clyde, so they stay cleaner, longer.

Step 1: Protect Before You Step Out

Prevention is always better than cure.


🛡 Use Crep Protect Spray (BUY HERE)

The Crep Protect Spray creates an invisible barrier that repels water and stains. Perfect for suede, nubuck, canvas, and knit materials.

How to apply:

  1. Make sure your shoes are clean and dry.

  2. Shake the bottle well.

  3. Spray evenly from about 20cm away.

  4. Let dry for 10 minutes.

  5. Apply a second coat for maximum protection.

Now you’re ready to take on unexpected rain, spills, or dirt without stress.

Pro Tip: Reapply every 2–4 weeks depending on usage.

 

Step 2: Clean the Right Way

Even with protection, dirt happens. When it does, clean properly, don’t just wipe and hope for the best.


🧼 Deep Clean with Crep Protect Cleaning Kit (BUY HERE)

The Crep Protect Cure Cleaning Kit is ideal for removing stubborn dirt while being gentle on materials.

What you’ll need:

  • Cleaning solution
  • Premium brush
  • Microfiber cloth
  • Bowl of water

Steps:

  1. Dip the brush in water.

  2. Add a few drops of cleaning solution.

  3. Gently scrub in circular motions.

  4. Wipe away excess foam with the microfiber cloth.

  5. Let air dry.

For delicate materials, use light pressure to avoid damage.


Step 3: Quick Clean with Clyde Wipes

On-the-go? No problem.

Step 4: Keep the Shape & Freshness
