Easy-care

Earthbound™ materials are naturally odor, bacteria, water and stain resistant and should last a long time with proper use and care.

Water repellent

All Earthbound™ sneakers feature a water-repellent coating that is completely natural and harmless to the environment, human health and any type of material.

How to care for your Earthbound™ sneakers

To maintain the beautiful color and appearance, we recommend a gentle vacuum cleaning with a soft nozzle. Pure wool is antistatic and does not attract dirt like other fabrics. The fabric is also water-repellent, so spilled liquids can only slowly penetrate the fabric.

For all dust and mud stains, allow the stains to dry and then vacuum. After vacuuming, use a clean and soft shoe brush (or toothbrush).

If there are stains, always soak up the liquid as quickly as possible with a white kitchen towel. If the stain has dried, remove as much of it as possible by vacuuming. Most stains and dirt can be removed with a commercially available pH-neutral cleaning agent diluted in lukewarm water.

Over time, white dust may form on the surface of rubber outsoles. This is a natural hardening process of the rubber, which you can remove with warm water, regular detergent and a soft brush.

Durable outsole

The abrasion-resistant compound of the outsole ensures that you can enjoy your sneakers for a long time.
