Care Guide

Remove the coarse dirt in the first place.

Keep your shoes clean with our gentle cleaning spray, applied using a cloth, brush, or sponge. Remember to remove excess liquid. Alternatively, a damp cloth can be used.

For added water resistance, use our waterproofer spray. You can also use our odor eliminator spray to absorb unpleasant odors.

Allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight before wearing them.

You can use our polish cream to maintain the appearance of your shoes and keep them looking their best.

Do not put the shoes in washing machines or submerge the shoes in water to prevent irreversible damage.

Product Life Cycle Analysis

Raw Materials Extraction and processing of raw materials (agriculture, mining, logging) create environmental impacts before manufacturing begins.

Manufacturing Production consumes energy, water, and other raw materials, resulting in emissions and natural resource depletion.

Packaging Packaging materials such as plastic, paper and metal are used to accommodate and transport the product, contributing for their carbon footprint.

Distribution The transportation of goods generates greenhouse gas emissions, influenced by transport type, distance, and logistics.

Use Phase & End of Life Product usage may consume energy and resources through a certain lifespan, while its disposal may result in landfilling, incineration and recycling, releasing greenhouse gases.

A product life cycle analysis (LCA), in terms of carbon footprint, assesses the total greenhouse gas emissions generated at each stage of a product’s life, from raw material extraction to production, distribution, use, and disposal.
