Different materials need different care.
When we say, "your Hush Puppies," we know that could mean anything from your trusty leather boots to your favourite suede loafers. Each material deserves its own kind of TLC. Here’s how to give every pair the care it needs to stay looking as bright as the day you bought them.
Keep it smooth and supple
Leather
Clean: A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes to remove dirt and dust from leather. For tougher marks, a gentle leather cleaner will do the trick.
Condition: Leather gets thirsty! Use Hush Puppies® Leather Lotion to keep it hydrated, soft and crack-free. It's like a spa treatment for your shoes, restoring their natural oils and keeping them looking fresh.
Polish: Love a glossy finish? Give your leather pairs a good buff with a soft cloth to bring out the shine.
Keep it soft and stylish
Suede
The best way to clean your suede shoes?
Brush: Suede loves attention, so grab the Hush Puppies® Suede Brush and Block Set and brush your shoes to keep their velvety texture looking its best. Do this as often as possible; it will help maintain the original look of your suede pairs.
Erase: Notice a stain? No worries! The cleaning block in Hush Puppies® Suede Brush and Block Set helps erase marks - it will freshen up your suede like magic!
Protect: Suede and water don’t mix! A quick spritz of Hush Puppies® Weather Protector will shield your shoes from rain and stains, keeping them looking their best.
To keep your shoes looking fresh for longer, explore our WorryFree™ suede collection. Featuring water-resistant, easy-care suedes that prevent scuff and stains.
Keep it fresh and bright
Fabric
Spot clean: If your fabric Hush Puppies trainers pick up a stain, dab them gently with mild soap and a soft cloth—no need for a full soak!
Air dry: Let them dry naturally, placing them near (not on) a radiator works wonders.
Shield: Keep them looking new by spraying on Hush Puppies® Weather Protector. It’s your best defence against everyday stains and moisture.
Ready for any weather
Water Resistant Styles
Wipe down: Muddy adventures are the best! When back home, give your Hush Puppies a quick wipe with a damp cloth to stop mud from caking.
Maintain: While our water-resistant materials are made to last, a quick spray of Hush Puppies® Weather Protector adds extra defence against rain and snow.
Air out: Let them breathe! Allow your boots to dry fully between wears to keep them fresh inside and out.
Explore our Waterproof pairs to keep your feet dry and moving in unbeatable comfort.
Care tips, season to season.
From heat in summer to frost in winter, each season brings challenges for your Hush Puppies. Here's how to keep them happy through every weather change.
Autumn/Winter
Waterproof before it pours: Don’t wait for the rain! Start the season strong by spraying your shoes with Hush Puppies® Weather Protector to keep them shielded.
Dry them right: Caught in a downpour with your furry friend? Stuff your wet shoes with newspaper or kitchen roll and let them air dry naturally. Skip the heaters—they can warp the shape.
Keep leather happy: Wintry weather can dry out leather, so keep it hydrated with Hush Puppies® Leather Lotion. It prevents cracks and keeps your shoes soft and supple.
Spring/Summer
Beat the heat: Keep odours away and your shoes (and feet) fresh with a light sprinkle of foot powder.
Shade them from the sun: Shoes can fade too! Store them in a cool, shaded spot when you’re not wearing them to keep their colours vibrant.
Dust them off: Dry weather brings extra dust, so brush your suedes regularly and give leathers and fabrics a quick wipe to keep them looking their best.
