Pre and Post Travel Cleaning Hacks
Before You Go: Protect to Help Prevent
We’d love for our FRANKIE4s to stay pristine forever, but they’re made to be worn and loved. To help prevent stains (especially on white leather shoes), apply a high-quality waterproof protector suited to your shoe’s specific leather type. Spray before first wear and reapply regularly for maintenance after your trip to help protect against spills, rain, and everyday scuffs.
If You Need a Quick Fix: Emergency Cleaning Tips
Wondering how to clean white shoes while you travel? For pairs with white colored polyurethane soles, a damp Chux Magic Eraser or even a regular eraser can help remove everyday marks. For more stubborn stains, alcohol wipes are effective in cleaning polyurethane soles (but avoid the leather, as it may cause discoloration). Simply visit your local supermarket when overseas and you'll find these handy, simple products that can help clean white leather sneakers on the go.
When You’re Back: Refresh & Rejuvenate
Once back home, store your shoes in a cool, dry spot (out of direct sunlight or heat) so the leather can breathe. To keep your FRANKIE4s looking fresh, give your pairs with white colored polyurethane soles another clean using an eraser or alcohol wipe (on soles only).
To treat scuffs or wear on colored leather shoes (specifically smooth leather), apply a high-quality rejuvenating polish. If you're unsure of the color match, it’s best to consult a bootmaker when you're back. Avoid scrubbing or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish, and always test products on a small hidden area first.
Please note these are general guidelines and FRANKIE4 will take no responsibility as a result from following these suggestions. For all products, please also ensure you read the product instructions prior to using on your shoes. For more recommendations and tips visit our care guide page.
