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.
