Textile barefoot shoes are an ideal choice for spring and summer. They are lightweight, breathable and support the natural movement of the foot. SHAPEN women's barefoot shoes, such as Playa and Festa barefoot espadrilles, Easin slip-on unisex barefoot shoes, Lovin barefoot sneakers, or Twiggy Blue & Red barefoot sandals combine style, comfort and functionality. 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:

1. First, remove dry dirt (dust, mud) with a soft brush.
2. Apply the cleaning foam to a cloth or sponge.
3. Gently clean the surface of the shoes in a circular motion.
4. Wipe off any foam residue with a damp cloth.
5. 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.

Tips on how to extend the life of barefoot shoes

If you want your new barefoot espadrilles, sandals, slip-on shoes or barefoot sneakers to last as long as possible, follow these simple tips:

• clean barefoot shoes regularly,
• impregnate them before the first wear and during the season,
• alternate between multiple pairs of footwear,
• allow the shoes to dry thoroughly after wearing,
• store them in a dry and ventilated place.

Proper care of barefoot footwear is the basis for their longevity. All it takes is regular cleaning, high-quality impregnation and a few simple habits - and your barefoot shoes will remain beautiful, functional and comfortable for a long time to come.
