KITS & CLEANING SOLUTION
You can use SHOEGR on many materials like leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, vinyl, and rubber. For guidance, watch our YouTube tutorials or contact us before cleaning, or refer to our How to Use page.
How much solution should I use for cleaning?
Our solution is made from natural soaps, including Coconut, Jojoba, and essential oils. These ingredients clean effectively and also act as a conditioner for leather.
The wipes are great for a quick touch-up and on-the-go cleaning. For a thorough and deep clean, use our Shoe Cleaning Kit.
When cleaning suede shoes, test the solution in a hidden spot first to avoid fading or color bleeding. Suede is diverse, hence, making general directions challenging. If it's your first time cleaning a material, watch our suede cleaning tutorials and follow the detailed steps on the How To Use page. For additional assistance, reach out to us before cleaning.
Yes, but be cautious with water use and brush the material gently. Please note that the dyed suede may bleed, so avoid getting it too wet.
Always test in a hidden spot for potential bleed. If it's your first time cleaning, watch our suede cleaning tutorials and follow the detailed steps on the How To Use page. Contact us before cleaning for extra help.
One kit with a 100ml solution is typically designed to effectively clean approximately 40-50 pairs of shoes. However, the actual coverage can vary based on several factors, including the level of dirtiness of the shoes and the size of each pair.
No. Yellowing happens when plastic or rubber reacts with oxygen, causing a color change. Our cleaner won't reverse this natural process.
We recommend letting them air dry for 12-24 hours.
SHOEGR Microfiber Towels are made with soft materials to prevent surface damage. The fibers, 20% finer than human hair, are extremely soft and absorbent. This allows gentle cleaning of dirt and dust from any material, including leather, while effectively drying heavily saturated or damp shoes.

Using SHOEGR Shoe Cleaning Wipes is easy! Follow these simple steps:

- For stubborn stains and midsoles, switch to the textured side. That's it! Easy and effective for keeping your shoes clean and fresh.

Yes, using SHOEGR Cleaning Wipes or the SHOEGR Kit can remove the protective layer from the SHOEGR Coat Water and Stain Repellent Spray. To keep the protection, it's best to apply the spray again after using the cleaning kit or wipes.
DRY SUEDE KIT
Use the eraser on Suede & Nubuck uppers, as they are designed for that purpose. They are also effective for midsole cleaning.
The Eraser is designed to be rough for effective stain removal. Follow the instructions, and avoid excessive rubbing. Work slowly while checking your results.

Suede materials may not react well with water, making traditional cleaning methods unusable. The Erasers, with their crumb-like particles, easily lift dirt and stains from the material.
This kit is made just for cleaning suede or nubuck shoes without water. But, for the best results on midsoles and bottom soles, you need the cleaning kit.
Also, if your shoes are really dirty, dry cleaning might not be enough. In that case, you definitely need the cleaning kit and use water to get the best result.
SHOE LAUNDRY KIT
Our Sneaker Laundry Bag has a special design that protects your shoes in the washing machine and helps clean them faster. For a deep clean, it’s a must-have!
Avoid putting suede, wool, and nubuck shoes in the washing machine, as these materials can easily bleed or transfer color.
Use COLD water and a normal 30-minute wash cycle.
The Sneaker Laundry Bag can fit two shoes up to size 12. For best results, don’t wash more than four pairs at a time.
Note: For larger or wider shoes like boots or high-ankle shoes that don’t fit in one bag, use separate bags.
Never put your shoes in the dryer. Let them air dry instead. To speed up drying, place them in a well-ventilated area or use a fan.
Put the shoes in the bag with the soles together, facing opposite directions. The bag is made for one pair of low to mid-top shoes up to size 12. If your shoes are bigger, you might need one bag per shoe.
Our Shoe Laundry Cubes are safe and free of harsh chemicals, dyes, and fragrances. Regular detergents with harsh chemicals can damage and ruin your shoes.
Sneaker Protection
COAT (WATER & STAIN REPELLENT)
This is a Hydrophobic formula, and it lives up to its name. We give your shoes a liquid phobia! The Coat creates an invisible barrier on the shoe that repels most liquids. They just float on the protective layer, waiting for you to wipe them off. :)

The long-lasting formula provides up to 30 days of protection. The duration also depends on how you wear the shoes and the conditions in which you wear them.
Yes, you can use Coat on all shoe materials, including Suede, Nubuck, Knit, Mesh, Canvas, Leather, etc.

This happens due to over-saturation. If sprayed too close, a white film may appear on leather. Leather doesn't easily absorb the spray, causing buildup. If this occurs, don't wash with water, as the spray repels liquids. Instead, reapply until wet, let it bond, and rub with a microfiber cloth to protect and remove marks.
CREASE DEFENDER
A Crease Defender is a product made to stop creases from forming on the toe box area of sneakers. It's typically a flexible insert that goes into the shoe, creating a barrier. This redistributes pressure, preventing creases during regular wear.
Crease Defenders come in different sizes to match various shoe sizes. It's crucial to select the right size for your specific sneakers to ensure a proper fit and effective crease prevention. Some compatible shoes include Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 12, Air Jordan Retro, Air Jordan 1 Turbo Green, Louis Vuitton Trainer, Air Force 1, Travis Scott, and similar shoes from brands like Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, etc.
To add Crease Defenders:
- Loosen the shoe laces.
- If possible, remove the insole.
- Insert the crease protector into the shoe.
- Put the insole back.
To remove Crease Defenders:
- Take out the insole if the shoe permits.
- Squeeze the backtab of the crease protector and slide it out.
