How to Clean Converse Shoes: Canvas, Leather and Suede Care

Cleaning Converse shoes should begin with identifying the upper material because canvas, leather and suede require different care.

What to Know

For canvas, gentle surface cleaning can help remove everyday dirt. Leather generally needs products appropriate for leather, while suede should be treated with suede-specific tools and methods.

Fit, Style and Buying Considerations

Avoid aggressive methods that can damage adhesives, finishes or color. Always follow the care instructions for the specific model.

Quick Answer

Keeping shoes dry when appropriate and cleaning marks early can make routine maintenance easier.
