Care instructions for (leather) Custom Painted sneakers:

Avoid excessive wear: While it’s tempting to wear your custom-painted sneakers every day, consider using them for special occasions or events to reduce wear and tear.

Handle with care: Treat your sneakers gently, avoiding sharp objects or surfaces that could scratch or damage the paint.

Keep them dry: Avoid wearing your custom-painted sneakers in wet or rainy conditions, as water can damage both the leather and the paint. If they do get wet, pat them dry with a clean cloth and let them air dry at room temperature.

Store properly: When not in use, store your custom-painted sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider using shoe bags or boxes to protect them from dust and debris.

Clean with care: If your sneakers get dirty, gently clean them using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners that may damage the paint or leather. For tougher stains, consider using a leather-specific cleaner, but test it in an inconspicuous area first.

Avoid submerging: Never submerge your custom-painted sneakers in water or put them in the washing machine. The paint and leather can suffer irreparable damage.

Protect the paint: Consider applying a clear, matte finish spray or leather protector over the painted areas to help protect the artwork from scratches and scuffs. Test the spray on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it won’t damage the paint.

Avoid direct heat: Keep your sneakers away from direct heat sources, such as heaters or radiators, as high temperatures can cause the paint to crack or fade.

Use leather conditioner: To keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out, apply a leather conditioner regularly. Make sure to choose a conditioner suitable for the type of leather used in your sneakers.

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals: Keep your custom-painted sneakers away from substances like bleach, alcohol, or acetone, as they can damage the paint and leather.
