Materials & care

Every product page tells you what your pair is made of. Here is how to look after each material, so your tabi stay lovely for longer.

Faux leather (PU) and microfibre

Most of our shoes. Brush off dust, then wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Let them dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sun.

Patent leather

Wipe with a soft dry cloth to keep the shine. Store each shoe so it does not rub against the other, to avoid scratches.

Leather

Brush off dust and wipe with a slightly damp cloth. A little leather cream from time to time keeps it supple.

Suede-look fabric

Use a soft brush, always in the same direction. Avoid soaking it; dab small marks gently with a barely damp cloth.

Stretch fabric

Dab marks with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then let the shoes dry at room temperature.

Soles

Our soles are rubber: wipe them with a damp cloth. Never put shoes in the washing machine or the dryer.

Tabi socks

Wash at 30°C, inside out, with similar colours. Let them dry flat, without tumble drying, so they keep their shape.

Storing your pairs

Keep them in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, with a little paper inside to hold the toe shape.
