How to Clean and Protect Your Josef Seibel Shoes with Collonil Products

Keep your Josef Seibel shoes looking their best and shielded from the elements with these expert care steps using trusted Collonil products. Regular cleaning and protection not only maintain appearance but also extend the life of your shoes.

Step-by-Step Shoe Care Guide

1. Brush Off Loose Dirt
Start by removing any surface dirt using a soft or firm bristle brush. This prepares your shoes for deeper cleaning.

2. Clean with the Right Solution

  • For leather shoes: Use Collonil Leather Cleaner or a mild soapy water mix.
  • For white or light-colored shoes: A baking soda paste can help remove tough stains (as recommended by Nike).

3. Rinse Thoroughly
Wipe the shoes clean with a damp microfiber cloth to remove all soap or cleaner residue.

4. Air Dry Properly
Stuff your shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Let them air dry naturally—avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.

5. Condition Leather (If Applicable)
Once dry, apply a Collonil Leather Conditioner to keep the leather supple, nourished, and crack-free.

6. Waterproof for Protection
Apply Collonil Waterproofing Spray or Waterstop Colour cream to create a long-lasting barrier against water, dirt, and stains. Reapply regularly for continued protection.

Additional Tips for Suede and Nubuck

  • Avoid Wetting Suede: Water can damage the delicate texture.
  • Use a Suede Brush: Regular brushing restores the nap and removes dirt.
  • Apply Collonil Suede Protector: Helps repel water and stains without altering the material.
  • Store Shoes Properly: Keep them in a dry area with laces undone and inner soles removed to promote ventilation.

Regular Maintenance

Make it a habit to wipe down your Josef Seibel shoes with a damp cloth after each wear. Consistent care goes a long way in preserving quality and comfort.

Rotate your footwear

Individual wear patterns will eventually alter the structural integrity of a shoe. Wearing shoes with varying degrees of wear, cushioning, or stability will keep foot fatigue at bay and ensure longevity of your footwear. Leaving your shoes to thoroughly dry out between wears is another good reason for alternating your shoes every day or so. It’s also a good excuse to purchase a new pair of shoes.

Airing & Drying Out

Water & Snow: Insert old newspaper to absorb the moisture and let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Wipe away the water with a clean cloth.
