How do I properly clean and care for my insoles?Updated 2 months ago
To maximize the lifespan and functionality of your Feelgrounds insoles, regular and proper cleaning is essential. Below, you’ll find specific care instructions based on the insole material:
Cleaning: Wipe the insole with a damp cloth, using a mild cleaning solution if needed, such as our Eco Shoe Cleaning Foam. Remove any excess cleaning product with a damp cloth. Avoid fully submerging the insole in water, as this could damage the material. To prevent odors, we recommend removing and airing out the insoles after each wear. For additional freshness, you can spray them with an odor-neutralizing spray. These insoles are not machine-washable and need to be removed before machine-washing the Move sports shoes.
Drying: Let the insole air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight to prevent deformation.
Cleaning: Gently clean the felt insole with a soft brush to remove dirt. For heavier stains, wipe the insole with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., Eco Shoe Cleaning Foam). Wipe off any excess cleaning product with a clean, damp cloth. Do not fully immerse the insole in water, as this could cause felting. For additional freshness, you can spray them with an odor-neutralizing spray. These insoles are not machine-washable
Drying: Let the insole air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight to prevent damage.
Cleaning: Carefully clean the cork insole with a dry, soft brush to remove loose dirt. Be sure to avoid direct water contact, as cork is highly sensitive to moisture, and it can cause swelling, deformation, or cracks. For additional freshness, you can spray them with an odor-neutralizing spray. These insoles are not machine-washable.
Drying: Let the insole air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight to prevent damage. Too much heat can dry out the cork and make it brittle.

General Care Tips
Air them out: Remove the insoles from your shoes after each wear to allow moisture to escape and prevent odor buildup.

Regularly check for wear and tear: Inspect your insoles regularly for signs of wear or damage so you can replace them in time.
