Crep Protect

9 products

Crep Protect is a range of products to protect, clean and look after your trainers. Here you will find the repellent spray for before the first wear, the Wipes for quick touch-ups, the Cure kit with its refill and the Crep Pill to fight odour.

If you have just bought a pair, start with the spray. If you want to bring your everyday trainers back to life, the Cure kit, with cleaning solution and brush, is what you need for a deep clean.

Crep Protect covers the three stages of trainer care: protecting them before the first wear, cleaning them when they get dirty, and keeping their shape and smell in check between wears. Each product has a specific job, so it is worth knowing what each one does.

Crep Protect spray before the first wear

Crep Protect spray creates a hydrophobic layer using nanotechnology: liquid sits on the surface and wipes off with a cloth instead of soaking into the material. It works on suede, nubuck, canvas, nylon, sheepskin and leather, such as on a pair of UGG. Apply it to clean, dry shoes from about 20 cm away, working from the laces towards the toe and heel, leave it to dry for around 10 minutes and add a second coat. On smooth leather the effect is weaker, and if you spray too close it can leave a white film.

Cleaning trainers with Cure and Wipes

Cure is a cleaning solution used with a brush and a microfibre cloth. Dip the brush in lukewarm water, add Cure, scrub in circles and lift the foam off with the cloth; then let them air dry for at least 24 hours. On suede, like on a pair of Handball Spezial, use as little water as possible. There is the Cure Travel Kit, and the Cure Refill for when the solution runs out. For quick touch-ups, the Wipes have a textured side for stains and a smooth side for a general wipe-down.

Shape and smell: Guards and Crep Pill

Sneaker Guards are memory foam inserts that go in the toe box to reduce creasing, and you cut them to your size. The Crep Pill absorbs moisture and odours with zeolite: you twist the capsule to choose the strength and it can be reused for up to two years. For smooth leather there is the Leather Conditioner, and for gifting, the Gift Pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to reapply Crep Protect spray?

If you wear your trainers every day, the brand itself talks about two to four weeks of protection, depending on which guide you check. The sensible thing is to reapply when you notice water no longer beads on the material. Always apply it to clean, dry shoes.

Can I clean suede and nubuck with Crep Protect Cure?

Yes, but with very little water and foam, scrubbing gently. Coloured suede can bleed if it gets soaked, so test it first on an area that does not show. Let them air dry for at least 24 hours somewhere well ventilated.

What are Crep Protect Sneaker Guards for?

They go inside the toe box of the trainer and help it keep its shape so fewer creases form as you walk. They are made of memory foam with a rigid plastic core, and you cut them along the marked lines to fit your size. They work in any closed trainer, not in sandals.

How do I get rid of smelly trainers?

The Crep Pill is a capsule with zeolite that absorbs moisture and odours and leaves a light scent. You twist the lid to choose low, medium or high strength, leave one in each shoe and close it when you are not using it. It can be reused for up to two years.
