In order to enjoy your barefoot footwear for as long as possible, it is important to know how to properly care for your textile barefoot shoes.
Why barefoot shoe care is important
Barefoot shoes are designed to be as light and natural as possible. That is why they are often made of finer materials such as textiles, which require regular care. Caring for barefoot footwear the right way prolongs the life of the shoes, preserves their appearance and colors, maintains the breathability of the material and ensures proper hygiene when wearing.
How to clean textile barefoot shoes
We recommend using the cleaning foam Collonil Clean & Care, which is an ideal choice for cleaning textile materials.
Cleaning procedure:
- First, remove dry dirt (dust, mud) with a soft brush.
- Apply the cleaning foam to a cloth or sponge.
- Gently clean the surface of the shoes in a circular motion.
- Wipe off any foam residue with a damp cloth.
- Allow the shoes to dry freely at room temperature.
Avoid vigorous scrubbing, which could damage the textile fibers.

Impregnation of barefoot shoes: protection against water and dirt
Each cleaning should be followed by impregnation. This is especially crucial for textile barefoot shoes, which easily soak up water.
We recommend using the impregnating product Moneta Protector.
Advantages of impregnation:
- repels water and moisture,
- protects against stains,
- simplifies further cleaning,
- extends the life of barefoot shoes.
Apply the impregnation to clean and dry shoes from a distance of about 20-30 cm. For maximum protection, apply the impregnation product more often.
