SPRING CLEANING

With the warm weather arriving, it's the perfect time to clean, polish, and protect your favorite sneakers. See below for our tips & tricks on how to take care of your Piloti shoes.

WAX ON, WAX OFF

For our leather sneakers, we recommend using a clear or color-matched polish to condition the leather and keep them in great shape for years to come. A simple wax on, wax off method works best!

CLASSIC CLEAN

For a classic clean, we recommend using warm water, a soft bristle brush, and an organic sneaker cleaner (suitable for the material).

BRUSH OFF

For suede and nubuck uppers, use a soft suede brush to clear off any dirt and to re-align suede fibers.

Pro Tip: When cleaning the upper of your shoes, use gentle brush strokes. Heavy scrubbing can leave marks and/or cause burnishing of the material.

PROTECT

Protective sprays can be used to help prevent dirt and grime and provide water resistance. When choosing a spray, read the label carefully to make sure it's suited for use on the correct material.
