Shoe care

Taking good care of your new shoes will ensure them a prolonged lifetime. Please take a moment and read through these recommendations.

Waterproof

Not all shoes come fully waterproofed, so we recommend treating these shoes with a waterproof spray before the first wear. Specialist sprays are available for a variety of different leather types*. If in doubt take the shoes with you when purchasing a shoe care product and ask for advice as to which product is most suitable. (We recommend Jason Markk Repel Spray, it creates a durable, breathable barrier that effectively repels liquids and stains).

*Reptile skins need extra care and special care products.

Color

After natural wear and tear you may want to revitalize the color of your shoes. This can be done with specialist sprays which have a similar tone to your shoe leather. We recommend making a trial on the inside of the shoe beforehand to ensure a perfect match and avoid any unwanted color change.

Maintenance

Cleaning your shoes regularly help give your shoes a longer life. There are a variety of general and more specialist shoe care products that can be purchased. If in doubt take the shoes with you when purchasing a shoe care product and ask for advice as to which product is most suitable.(We recommend Jason Markk Premium Shoe Cleaner).

It is normal that overtime some softer leathers may become dry and lose some of their natural finish. To overcome this we recommend that you regularly apply a thin layer of nourishing cream and buff lightly with a cloth

Drying Shoes

When shoes become wet from outdoor use, dry with a soft, clean cloth and let them dry in natural/warm environment. Should the shoes be so wet that they are damp on the inside, we recommend packing the inside of the shoes with newspaper to help absorb water. Do not dry shoes in front of a heater or in direct sunlight as this may damage the shoes. When drying, avoid contact with darker materials as this may cause some color to leak or transfer onto the shoes.

Salt stains

While salt stains not only look unpleasant they can also cause damage to your shoes. Salt stains can be reduced or removed completely by mixing water together with a few drops of lemon or special agent and applying with a cloth or sponge. After shoes have dried, treat with shoe polish or spray.

Laces

Although all shoes come with an extra set of high quality laces, if the do laces wear out, we can provide you with a brand new set. Just contact service@spitz.store

Made to order

Select your own skin and create a very personal sneaker.

Our sneakers are made in small manufacturers in Germany. A special service that we offer enables you to customise our sneaker model by selecting a leather from our special range of fancy leathers and skins. In this way you can create a very personal and unique pair.

Since these sneakers are especially handcrafted for you, there is a delivery time of 3-4 weeks.

Please understand that made to order sneakers cannot be returned.
