Cleaning

To preserve the life of your P&F shoes (flexibility, appearance and waterproofing), it is important to keep them clean and free of debris or mud. Remove the laces, then wipe off any dirt, calcium or salt with a soft, damp cloth. You can also use a soft bristle brush and rinse lightly with water as needed.

Do not use soap. Wipe off any debris from the outer sole to maintain traction and prevent premature deterioration.

Dry your shoes in the open air.

Drying

If your shoes get wet, remove the laces and removable insoles to allow them to air dry, and keep them apart in a dry, ventilated place. Never place your shoes or removable insoles too close to a heat source such as a calorifier or stove, as this could deform them.

Application of waterproofing products

For styles with untreated (waterproofed) leather, a waterproofing protector that does not contain silicone can be applied.

There are several products on the market that can help make leather waterproof. The type of product you choose depends on the leather of your P&F shoes (full grain, oiled, nubuck...) and the protective product manufacturer's instructions.

https://fredericstjames.com/fr-fr/blogs/blog/is-leather-waterproof-leather-waterproofing-things-you-must-know

Also, the effectiveness of waterproofing can vary according to the type of leather and the product used. We therefore recommend testing the product on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire shoe.

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE A PRODUCT CONTAINING SILICONE. This will destroy the protective layer on the leather and compromise the waterproofing and adhesion of the sole glue.

For waterproof leather shoes with sealed seams, it is not necessary to apply protective products.

For styles with a waterproof membrane, the addition of a waterproofing agent can help maintain the leather's appearance and extend the life of the shoe.

Rubber soles

To keep your shoes' rubber in good condition, simply store them in a dark environment that's neither too dry nor too damp. Product application is not necessary.

EVA soles

Shoes made of EVA are sensitive to heat. When shoes are subjected to a source of heat, deformation occurs. Light and comfortable, it deserves special care and must be stored in the right conditions to preserve its unique characteristics. Do not dry boots in direct sunlight or other sources of hot light. Do not dry in a dryer, in front of a window, radiator, hair dryer or any other source of artificial heat.
