How to Care for Your Barefoot Shoes During Winter
You finally have them. You slip on your new winter barefoot shoes and head outside. Snow is falling, grit crunches under your feet, and you can hear the sound of shoveling in the distance. Fortunately, your shoes are prepared to face these challenging conditions – humidity, salt, and cold.

Even though our barefoot shoes are designed to be durable and functional, you can prolong their lifespan even further with the right care. How?
Regular Care Extends Their Lifespan
You do not buy winter shoes just for one season, so you need them to last as long as possible. And for that, the shoes need your help. Without regular maintenance, materials like leather or fabric can lose their properties. Fortunately, just a few simple products are enough to keep your barefoot shoes looking like new for a long time.
Impregnation Is Essential
Before you head out, apply an impregnation spray to protect your shoes from moisture. On our website, you will find a reliable helper and the king of universal impregnation - Collonil Carbon Pro spray.
Regular Cleaning
After each use, remove any salt, snow, or mud from your shoes. A soft sponge and the Combi Set universal cleaning foam will help. It gently removes dirt without damaging the material and revives colors. You can clean smooth and brushed leather, textiles, and synthetics without using water.
Leather Care
If you have leather barefoot shoes, treat them regularly with pedag Leather Wax. It smells great, nourishes the leather, and prevents it from drying out. It also provides full impregnation. It is suitable for all winter, outdoor, and work footwear made of smooth leather and “oiled nubuck.”
Proper Storage
After wearing them, always dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid placing them on a radiator or using a dryer – such methods are too harsh on the materials.
Not complicated, right? Take care of your barefoot shoes with love, so they can accompany you on every winter adventure.
