Shoe Care
AKU Shoe Care products are designed to help you maintain comfort, durability and weather protection across AKU footwear—from trekking and hunting boots to tactical and professional models. Regular cleaning and correct drying removes abrasive grit, helps materials last longer, and supports breathability and waterproof performance where your footwear uses a membrane. This category includes AKU’s own eco-formulated care products for leather and mixed-material uppers, plus practical storage solutions to reduce moisture build-up after use and travel.

- Better longevity with simple routine: Correct cleaning, drying and conditioning helps reduce premature wear caused by dirt and moisture retention.

Care routine
- Brush off dirt when dry: After use, remove dust, mud and dirt with a soft brush when the footwear is dry. For stubborn dirt, use a cloth moistened with cold water.
- Avoid harsh products: Never use solvents, aggressive chemical products or brushes that are too hard—they can damage leather and plastic parts.
- No machine washing or pressure washing: Do not wash in a washing machine and do not use pressure washers; high temperatures and pressure can damage components.
- Dry correctly: Air-dry naturally and avoid direct heat sources.
- Store smart: Use breathable storage (such as the Shoe Bag) and make sure footwear is dry before longer-term storage.
