WHATEVER KIND OF WATER
We’ve got you covered - no matter what your shoes are covered in. From leisurely days at the lake to ongoing forays at the ocean, keep the following in mind to keep your kicks looking as good as new.
REMOVE EXCESS DIRT + DEBRIS
Remove excess dirt or debris from your sandals with a gentle bristle brush or towel. Then hand wash using a gentle bristle brush and a cold water, mild detergent solution. Brush gently in a circular motion; if needed, go over stains multiple times to remove. For salt stains, treat the affected area with a simple solution of equal parts water and white vinegar and a cloth.
AIR DRY IS KEY
When you return from the pool, the beach, or the lake, pat any excess moisture with a towel and let sandals air-dry until you're ready for your next adventure. Stains on your sandals? Mild and gentle cleaning products are your best bet to keep your shoes looking Try using soap to clean your water-friendly sandals–it’s easy to remove stains with a little bit of dish soap and warm water.
DETER + ELIMINATE ODORS
If odor is a problem, try swabbing a few drops of tea tree oil along the soles of your sandals overnight. The oils’ antibacterial properties will eliminate odors and keep your feet feeling fresh and odors at bay.
