Sidi Genius 4 shoe care

[Rick]

Hello,

I have a pair of Sidi Genius 4 less than 1 year old. The outside around the toe box area is fading
even though I clean them from time to time with a damp cloth. Is there any type of care I need to
use to help prevent any further fading and to keep the shoes soft as once was when new?

Thanks
Rick in TN.

Wash them in a pan of water! Surprising how shiny black mine were once they dried out (which took a
couple of days). Once all the salt was gone, they were as soft as new, too!

When you stuff them with old newspapers they dry much faster.

To elaborate, stuff them with newspapers but change the newspapers every hour or so.

From my days as a soccer player, I use something called Boot Kleen, followed by Boot Brew. My Sidi¹s
look and feel as good as new.

Only problem is the bottoms are about worn out and I¹ll have to get a new pair.

HAND Wish I did¹nt have duck feet!
