Running and sports shoes

• Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush after each run.
• Remove the laces and insoles before cleaning.
• Clean with lukewarm water, a mild soap and a soft cloth.
• Never put running shoes in a washing machine or dryer.
• Let them air dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun.
• If you run often, rotate between two pairs so the cushioning can recover.

Casual and everyday shoes

• Wipe them down after wear to stop dirt settling in.
• Use a cleaner made for the material: leather, suede or mesh.
• Condition leather now and then to keep it soft.
• Keep them away from damp and store them in a cool, dry place.

Helpful tips

• Stuff damp shoes with paper to hold their shape while they dry.
• Do not leave shoes in a hot car or near a heater.
• Replace the insoles once they feel flat.
• A protective spray helps mesh and suede resist water and stains.

Every pair at Shoe North is chosen for comfort, support and everyday performance. The materials are selected for how the shoe is meant to be used, so a road running shoe and a street sneaker are built differently.

• Uppers: engineered mesh, knit or leather, chosen for breathability, flexibility and durability.
• Midsoles: cushioning foams that absorb impact and return energy, from soft max-cushion platforms to firmer responsive setups.
• Outsoles: rubber compounds placed where the shoe wears most, for grip on roads, pavements and trails.
• Fit: padded collars and tongues, secure lacing and, on many models, wide-fit options.

Materials and construction differ by model. The exact details for the pair you are looking at are listed under Specifications in the description above.
