Keep your Khizu footwear looking and feeling great
At Khizu, we want your footwear to stay in excellent condition and bring you joy for as long as possible. Below, you'll find our detailed care instructions to help you maintain your shoes, slippers, and boots.
General Care Tips for All Footwear
Follow these steps to keep your Khizu footwear looking and performing its best:
Cleaning
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt or stains. Avoid soaking or machine washing, as this can damage the materials or affect the shoe's shape.
Drying
Air dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, to prevent fading, warping, or material degradation.
Storage
Store your footwear in a cool, dry place. Use shoe trees or stuff them with tissue paper to maintain their shape, and keep them away from moisture to prevent mold or mildew.
Sole Maintenance
Use a soft brush to clean the soles, removing dirt and debris to preserve traction and extend the life of your shoes.
Specific Care Instructions by Product Type
Slippers
Material Focus: Many of our slippers feature soft fabrics or memory foam. Avoid excessive water exposure to protect the foam and fabric integrity.
Care Instructions:
Spot Cleaning: For stains, dab with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent, then wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
Odor Control: Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake out before wearing.
Avoid machine washing and drying to preserve shape and comfort.
Casual Shoes
Material Focus: Often made with breathable mesh or woven materials, these shoes need gentle care to maintain their structure.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning Mesh: Use a soft brush with a mild soap solution to clean mesh areas, focusing on small, circular motions to avoid fraying. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.
Orthopedic Features: Avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade supportive elements like air cushions or arch support.
Remove insoles if possible and clean separately.
Boots
Material Focus: Boots may include leather, suede, or waterproof materials, each requiring specific care.
Care Instructions:
Leather Care: For leather boots, apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid soaking.
Suede Care: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.
Waterproofing: For waterproof boots, reapply a waterproofing spray as needed to maintain protection. Wipe off mud or dirt promptly to prevent staining.
Additional Tips for Longevity
Rotate Usage
Give your shoes a break between wears to allow them to air out and reduce wear and tear.
Avoid Extreme Conditions
Prolonged exposure to rain, snow, or intense heat can damage materials. Use protective sprays for added resistance if needed.
Handle with Care
When putting on or removing boots, use a shoehorn to avoid damaging the heel counter, and undo laces or zippers fully to preserve their fit.
Important Notes
Always check the product description for any specific care instructions unique to your item.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage materials and affect the appearance of your footwear.
