Care of your dance shoes

Leather dance shoes 

Leather dance shoes should be cleaned and cared for regularly to keep the material supple and free from cracks. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove superficial dirt. A special leather cleaner can help with deeper soiling. After cleaning, it is advisable to apply a leather care cream or lotion to nourish the material and protect it from drying out. Always allow the shoes to air dry and avoid direct sunlight or heat sources that could make the leather brittle

Suede leather dance shoes

Suede leather requires special attention as it is more sensitive to moisture and dirt. Use a special suede brush to remove dust and dirt. A suede brush or block can be helpful for stains. It is important to waterproof suede regularly to protect it from moisture. Moisture can harden the material and cause stains, so you should always take care to keep suede shoes away from water.

Synthetic dance shoes

Dance shoes made from synthetic materials are generally easier to care for than their natural material counterparts. A mild soap solution and a soft cloth are often enough to remove dirt and stains. Synthetic materials generally do not require any special care products, but care should be taken not to use aggressive chemicals that could damage the material.

Insoles 

To keep the inner soles clean and avoid unpleasant odours, it is advisable to wipe them regularly with a damp cloth or Dettol disinfectant wipes. A light application of shoe deodorant or antibacterial spray helps to maintain freshness. Shoe insoles can also be helpful to increase the longevity of the insoles and improve comfort.
