How to Take Care of Your Custom Printed Sneakers and Make Them Last
Buying a bold, custom-designed pair of sneakers from Fuel Shoes is like owning a piece of wearable art. But to make sure your kicks keep turning heads for years to come, you’ve got to show them some love.
Here's your ultimate guide to caring for Fuel Shoes the right way.
🧽 1. Clean Them Gently
Avoid machine washing. Instead:
-
Use a soft brush or sponge
-
Mix mild soap with warm water
-
Gently scrub the sole and outer surface
-
Wipe with a damp cloth and let air dry
💡 Pro tip: Never soak the shoes in water.
🌤️ 2. Store Them Right
Keep them in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or damp corners — heat and moisture can fade the print or affect the glue.
👟 3. Use a Shoe Tree or Paper
To keep their shape intact, stuff your sneakers with newspaper or use a shoe tree when you’re not wearing them. Especially useful for high-tops and boots.
🚫 4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Stay away from bleach, stain removers, or alcohol-based cleaning products. They can damage the printed artwork and reduce the vibrancy of your sneakers.
🧳 5. Travel Smart
When travelling, store your shoes in dust bags or zip-lock pouches to protect them from dirt and scratches. You can even wrap them in a T-shirt if needed!
🎨 Why This Matters
Your Fuel Shoes aren’t just shoes—they’re an expression of your identity. A little extra care goes a long way in keeping them fresh, vibrant, and Insta-worthy.
