How Can I Protect My Shoes?

Keeping your shoes looking great starts with the right care—and the right products. Whether they’re for school, work, weekends, or everyday wear, a simple routine can help them stay comfortable, clean, and long-lasting.

Why Shoe Protection Matters

Shoes face dirt, moisture, salt, and daily wear. Protecting them helps:

• Repel water, salt, and stains

• Preserve colour and texture

• Reduce scuffing, fading, or cracking

• Make cleaning easier over time

Choosing the Right GLOBO Shoe-Care Products

GLOBO offers a curated selection of cleaners, protectors, polishes, and tools suitable for a wide range of materials.

Leather

Use Aleasen and Darorva.

Recommended Routine

• Clean + Condition + Restore:
  Use Aleasen to protect against rain, snow, and salt while replenishing natural oils. It also helps minimize scratches.
  Instructions: Apply to a clean, dry surface using the sponge applicator; wipe off with a damp cloth.

• Shine:
  Finish with Darorva for a quick, glossy refresh.
  Instructions: Press the built-in sponge to release product and apply evenly—no buffing needed.

Suede & Nubuck

Use Cloverdale plus a protector such as Bubbiano.

Recommended Routine

• Clean & Lift the Nap:
  Use the Cloverdale brush to remove dirt and revive texture. The eraser block helps lift scuffs.

• Protect:
  After cleaning, use Bubbiano, a water-based protector that shields against rain, snow, and salt.
  Instructions: Spray evenly from 15–20 cm on clean, dry suede.

Fabric, Canvas & Mesh

Use Olawen for cleaning and Bubbiano for protection.

Recommended Routine

• Clean:
  Olawen is a multi-purpose gel cleaner with a built-in brush—ideal for sneakers and casual fabric shoes.
  Instructions: Shake, press to release gel, scrub in circular motions, and wipe clean.

• Protect:
  Once dry, apply Bubbiano to help repel moisture and stains.

• Dry Properly:
  Always air dry—never apply direct heat.

Synthetic Materials (Vegan Leather, Rubber, Vinyl, Nylon)

Use Vegancare or Olawen, depending on the finish.

Recommended Routine

• Clean + Condition + Protect:
  Vegancare is a 3-in-1 spray that removes dirt, restores shine, and adds light protection.
  Instructions: Spray lightly and wipe with a clean cloth in circular motions.

• Deep Clean for Sneakers:
  For textured synthetics or soles, Olawen helps remove tougher dirt.

When Should I Apply Protector Spray?

For the best results when using Bubbiano or similar protectors:

• Apply before the first wear

• Reapply every 2–4 weeks, depending on weather

• Always apply to clean, dry shoes

• Spray in a well-ventilated area
