Caring for your shoes

We do not recommend machine washing our shoes as this may affect the conductivity of the shoes and disrupt the grounding technology.

Instead, we recommend a light hand wash every so often to keep them clean.

What you’ll need to clean your shoes:

  • Mild detergent or clothing-safe soap
  • A soft scrubbing brush or toothbrush
  • A sponge
  • Paper towels
  • A bucket of warm water

How to clean your Bahé footwear:

  1. You’ll want to wash the different parts of your shoes separately, so start off by taking out your shoelaces.
  2. Fill a bucket or bowl with warm water and add 15-30ml of mild detergent or mix a little bit of the soap in the water
  3. With a dry brush, clean off any clinging mud, dirt or debris before you get your shoes wet.
  4. Use a soft scrub brush or toothbrush dipped in warm, soapy water and gently clean the outsoles (bottoms of the shoes) by hand. Rinse with a wet sponge.
  5. The next job is to clean the uppers of your shoes. The upper can be cleaned using a wet, soapy sponge and rub gently. Our materials can handle hand-washing, but do not submerge your shoes in water.
  6. You can clean your shoelaces using soap and a scrub brush under running water.


Once all of the parts of your shoes have been cleaned, let them air dry with paper towels stuffed inside. This will help absorb moisture and maintain the shape of your shoes as they dry. (Just take care not to dry them near a radiator or in direct sunlight, which can cause damage).

Note: Our insoles contain conductive elements such as metallic yarn and conductive glue, so we suggest you avoid cleaning them unless absolutely necessary.

If you do, use a clean, slightly damp cloth without detergent and gently wipe away any dirt or debris. Don’t soak the insoles or you risk damaging the foam and its shape.
