That’s why we’ve gathered our best shoe care tips to help your child’s Elephantito shoes stay soft, strong, and ready for every occasion.
Leather Care
Our signature leather shoes are loved for their softness and strength — timeless classics that deserve a little TLC.
How to care for them:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth or soft brush after wear.
- Apply a small amount of color-matched leather cream or conditioner once a month.
- Let them air dry naturally (never use heat).
- For extra shine, add a touch of polish.
Pro Tip: Keep tissue inside to help them hold their shape.
Suede & Nubuck
Soft and elegant, suede and nubuck styles bring a refined touch to any outfit — but they need gentle care.
How to care for them:
- Before the first wear, apply a protective suede spray to repel moisture and stains.
- Brush gently in one direction after use to keep the texture smooth.
- Let them air dry (away from sunlight and heat).
- For light stains, use a suede eraser.
-
Avoid: Water, oil, or wax-based cleaners that can darken or damage the texture.
Canvas, Fabric & Linen
Perfect for playtime and casual days, canvas and linen shoes are durable, breathable, and easy to love — but they appreciate a little extra attention.
How to care for them:
- Brush off any surface dirt before washing.
- Spot clean with mild detergent and lukewarm water using a soft cloth or toothbrush.
- Rinse gently and air dry (never put them in the dryer).
- Use a fabric protector spray to help prevent stains.
-
Pro Tip: To maintain color, avoid soaking or scrubbing too hard.
