Keep your Women's Weekend Classic looking and performing its best with these straightforward care tips for waterproof casual shoes.

Quick answer

Caring for your Women's Weekend Classic is straightforward: regular cleaning and proper drying keep the Dyma-tex™ membrane performing and the shoes looking fresh.

Why care matters for waterproof shoes

Waterproof shoes like the Weekend Classic rely on a breathable membrane to keep water out. Dirt and residue can clog the membrane's pores, reducing breathability over time. Regular care prevents this and maintains the shoe's comfort.

Frequently asked questions

How do I clean the Weekend Classic?
Remove laces and insoles. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently scrub the knit upper. Rinse with cool water. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Can I machine wash them?
Hand washing is recommended. Machine washing can stress the waterproof membrane and the stretch knit. If you must machine wash, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag. Hand washing is safer for long-term waterproof performance.
How should I dry them?
Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a dryer, radiator, or hair dryer, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane. Stuff them with newspaper to help them hold shape and absorb moisture.
How do I remove stains?
For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply gently with a soft brush, let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
How often should I clean them?
Clean them when they look visibly dirty or after exposure to mud, salt, or chemicals. For regular wear, a quick wipe-down every few weeks is enough to keep them fresh. Regular light cleaning is better than infrequent deep cleaning.
How can I extend the life of the waterproofing?
Keep the Dyma-tex™ membrane clean. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals like de-icing salts. If you notice the shoes are no longer beading water, a gentle rinse may restore the surface treatment. Clean membrane = effective waterproofing.
