Cleaning: Wipe down the Felix Rub-Off material with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Polishing: While Felix Rub-Off doesn't require traditional leather polish, you can use a suitable vegan-friendly shoe protector or balm designed for synthetic materials to maintain its finish and provide some water resistance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the material.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Break-in: As with most Dr. Martens, a break-in period is common. Wear them for short periods initially with thick socks to help them conform to your feet and prevent blisters.
