Care for your textile barefoot shoes (cotton, knit) & sheepskin
In summer and for sports, shoes made of cotton and other textiles are particularly practical. They are very airy and breathable. You can quickly and conveniently put dirty clothes in the washing machine? But can we do the same with our barefoot shoes?
Here we give you tips for cleaning and caring for your textile shoes.
Our ZAQQ barefoot shoes made of cotton, knit, and other textiles
We have several barefoot shoe models made of textiles in our shop. As examples, we mention our most popular models here:
Our bestseller barefoot shoe QNIT is made of a cotton knit fabric, and our popular sock shoe SOOQ is made of a cotton-elastane fabric. We also have some winter shoes with lambskin on offer. Both our textile barefoot shoes and the lambskin areas on the winter boots can be cleaned according to the following instructions.
Impregnating your textile shoes before the first wear
Without impregnation, your textile shoes are like a magnet for dust and dirt particles. To protect your ZAQQs from the start, you must impregnate them with a special agent.
The best impregnation spray is Carbon Pro, which you can use not only for textiles but also for many other materials like Gore-Tex® or Sympatex®.
Before treatment, your ZAQQ barefoot shoes must be clean and dry! The impregnation spray is applied evenly from a distance of about 20cm. Make sure there is good ventilation in the room or go outside into the fresh air. By impregnating your textile shoes, they become dirt and water-repellent without compromising breathability.
Cleaning ZAQQ textile shoes
You should never put your ZAQQ barefoot shoes in the washing machine!!!
The most gentle way to clean your textile shoes is with a soft brush. Dirt particles can be brushed off very quickly. Regular brushing is usually enough to keep your ZAQQs clean. If stubborn dirt has accumulated that cannot be removed with the dry brush , you can use a damp sponge .
Once the textile shoes are cleaned and well dried, you should impregnate them. Only through regular impregnation of your ZAQQ barefoot shoes will you enjoy them for a long time.
