Product Care and Repairs

How do I care for my Green Cross leather products? 

Caring for your shoes:
Leather is a natural product and will discolour over time. To enhance the lifespan of your Green Cross shoes, it is important to take car of them and follow our instructions below:

  • • Wear your shoes frequently. Green Cross shoes are made for walking.
  • • Do not wear the same pair of shoes every day.
  • • Avoid environments where oils, chemicals and solvents are present.
  • • Regularly clean and polish your leather uppers with leather cleaner and polish.
  • • Remove dirt by wiping with a soft brush or slightly damp (not wet) cloth.
  • • Never use harsh cleaning agents on our shoes. These chemicals destroy the natural leather.
  • • Do not soak or submerge shoes in water.
  • • Allow damp shoes to dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them near a direct heat source.
Caring for different leathers:
Colour variations or slight imperfections are the hallmarks of genuine leather.

 
Full Grain Leather
  • • Ensure that the selected polish matches the upper colour.
  • • Neutral shoe creams/polishes should be used for light coloured leather.
  • • Apply evenly in small amounts and buff with a clean, dry lint-free cloth or buffing crush.
 
Suede and Nubuck Leather
  • • Protect new shoes before the first wear with suede and nubuck protector.
  • • Remove surface dirt with a soft brush.
  • • Some stains may be removed using a suitable suede or nubuck cleaner.
  • • Certain cleaners may darken the colour of the upper. Test on a small area first.
  • • A soft brush can be used to restore and raise the nap of the leather.
  • • Avoid spilling oily liquid onto the nubuck leather as this will permanently damage it.
 
Waxy and Oily Leather
  • • Use specifically formulated shoe creams for oily and waxy leather. Apply with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
  • • Do not use liquid polish as these leathers have been specifically treated with waxes and oils to give optimum suppleness, comfort and authenticity.
  • • Scratches may easily occur but in most cases can be removed in most cases by gently rubbing the surface area.
 
High Shine and Patent Leather
  • • Do not use a buffing brush.
  • • Wipe and buff with a clean lint-free cloth.
 
Metallic Leather and Synthetic Finishes
  • • Wipe with a clean cloth moistened only with water.
  • • Gently rub with a dry cloth to return to a shiny finish.
