KEEP THEIR LITTLE LOVE BUGS LOOKING GOOD
How to Clean Your Little Love Bugs
Kids are messy. Their shoes are going to get messy too. The good news? A little care goes a long way.
Please Don't Use Baby Wipes.
We know — baby wipes clean basically everything. 😂 But many wipes contain ingredients that can dry out leather, which may cause it to peel, crack or wear prematurely.
Gentle Cleaning Is Best
- Wipe away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth.
- For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth.
- Blot spills instead of aggressively scrubbing.
- Let shoes air dry naturally.
- Spot test any leather-care product before using it on the whole shoe.
A Few Things to Avoid
- Baby wipes or harsh household cleaners.
- Soaking leather shoes in water.
- Washing leather styles in the washing machine.
- Putting shoes in the dryer.
- Direct heat from heaters, hair dryers or radiators.

REAL LEATHER. REAL KIDS. REAL LIFE.
Scuffs Happen.
Little Love Bugs are made to be worn — which means leather may pick up scuffs, scratches and signs of adventure along the way. That’s normal.
Genuine leather naturally develops character as it’s worn, bent, bumped and played in.
What should you do?
Start gently. Wipe away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth.
Clean lightly. If needed, use a slightly damp cloth and avoid aggressive scrubbing.
Condition the leather. A leather conditioner can help keep genuine leather soft and moisturized over time.
And remember: these are kids’ shoes. A few scuffs usually mean they’re doing exactly what they were made to do. 😂
