Materials You Can Trust

We care about your health and the environment. That’s why all materials and dyes used in the Original Knit are tested to EU REACH standards. Here’s what goes into your shoes:

• Upper, Laces, and Lining: Made from recycled PET.
  
• Sole: Crafted from recyclable rubber.
  
• Heel Lining: Soft microfiber for added comfort.
  

Care Instructions

To keep your Original Knit looking and performing its best, follow these simple care tips:

1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild cleaning solution and lukewarm water. Wipe away excess moisture with a damp cloth.
   
2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature.
   
3. Waterproofing: Regularly apply a waterproofing spray to maintain the water-repellent properties. We recommend spraying them before your first wear.
   

Note: The Original Knit is not machine washable, as this can damage the upper material and remove its water-repellent treatment.
