Care for the art you wear.
Every CustomShoesByUs pair is hand-painted and sealed in Hong Kong. A gentle routine keeps the finish clean, flexible, and ready for regular wear.
Professional leather paint, finished with a flexible protective sealer.
Four simple habits.
Clean less, but clean carefully. Frequent aggressive washing causes more wear than leaving a small mark until you can treat it properly.
- 01
Brush off dry dirt
Use a clean, soft-bristled brush after wear. Remove loose dust before adding any moisture.
- 02
Spot clean gently
Use a barely damp microfibre cloth with mild soap. Dab the area and avoid hard scrubbing.
- 03
Air dry naturally
Let your shoes dry indoors at room temperature. Keep them away from heaters and direct sun.
- 04
Store with space
Keep the pair dry, loosely laced, and away from surfaces that can rub against the artwork.
What to avoid.
- washing machines, tumble dryers, and full soaking
- bleach, alcohol, acetone, and abrasive cleaners
- hard brushes or scrubbing directly over painted areas
- long exposure to heavy rain, mud, or direct sunlight
Natural creasing and small scuffs are part of wearing handmade footwear. If the painted finish is damaged, contact the studio before trying a strong cleaner. Defect reviews are covered in our returns and exchanges policy.
