Shoe Care Guide: Love Your Shoes Longer

Every pair of Chal Shoes is handcrafted with care — and a little love from your side can make them last even longer. Here’s how to keep them looking their best, depending on the material:

Fabric & Denim Shoes

Upcycled | Lightweight | Breezy
How to clean:

  • Use a soft toothbrush, mild soap, and water to gently scrub the surface.
  • Rinse with a damp cloth — no need to soak.
  • Air-dry completely before wearing.

Pro tip: Avoid machine washing unless specified. Spot cleaning helps retain shape and color.

Leather Shoes

Premium | Durable | Timeless

How to clean:

  • Wipe gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
  • Use a leather conditioner occasionally to maintain suppleness.
  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

Avoid: Soaking in water, heavy scrubbing, or machine washing.

Suede Shoes

Velvety | Delicate | Textured

How to clean:

  • Use a suede brush or suede cleaning kit (available online or in shoe stores).
  • For stains, gently rub with a suede eraser or a dab of white vinegar on a cloth.
    Note: Suede is sensitive to water — always brush when dry.

Babouche (Machine Washable Styles)

Everyday | Easy | Comfortable

How to clean:

  • Toss into the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water.
  • Air-dry in shade (not direct sun).

Note: Some fraying may occur with time — simply trim it off with scissors to keep them neat.

Tire Sole & Upcycled Styles

Strong | Eco-friendly | Unique

How to clean:

  • Wipe down the soles with a damp cloth or soft brush.
  • For upper materials, follow the instructions above based on leather, fabric, or denim.
    Note: These soles are super durable — perfect for everyday wear with a conscience.

Final Tips

  • Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place.
  • Use paper stuffing or shoe trees to retain shape.
  • Rotate between pairs to give each shoe time to breathe.
