5 Tips to Keep Your Sneakers Looking New This Winter

Practical, easy-to-follow advice to protect, clean, and preserve your favorite kicks this season.

Shoes in Winter

Winter can be tough on your sneakers. Snow, salt, and wet weather can quickly wear down even your favorite pairs. With a few simple habits, you can keep your sneakers looking fresh and clean all season long. Here are five practical tips to protect, clean, and preserve your sneakers this winter.

1. Clean Them RegularlyDirt, salt, and grime build up quickly in winter. Wiping your sneakers down after each wear prevents stains and keeps them looking new. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap or sneaker cleaner, focusing on the soles and fabric.

2. Protect with Waterproofing SprayAfter cleaning, apply a waterproofing spray to guard against moisture and salt damage. This extra layer keeps sneakers dry and prevents staining from snow or slush. Be sure to spray evenly and let it dry completely before wearing.

3. Dry Them ProperlyNever dry your sneakers with direct heat (like a radiator or hair dryer) — this can warp or crack materials. Instead, stuff your sneakers with newspaper or use sneaker trees to help them maintain their shape while drying naturally.

4. Store CarefullyProper storage keeps sneakers looking pristine for longer. Keep pairs in boxes or on shelves away from moisture and sunlight. Organized storage also makes it easier to rotate your collection and prevent creasing or fading.

5. Rotate Your CollectionWearing the same pair every day can wear them down faster. Rotate between multiple pairs to allow shoes to rest and maintain shape, longevity, and style.

Our Sneaker Cleaning Process

At Lakeshore Kicks Lab, every pair is treated with care, precision, and respect for the materials. Our cleaning process is designed to restore your sneakers safely and consistently. No harsh shortcuts, no unnecessary wear.
Whether you’re maintaining everyday kicks or preserving a premium pair, our process focuses on cleaning, protection, and longevity.

Step 1: Initial Assessment

Each pair is inspected before cleaning begins.
We assess:

  • Material type (leather, suede, nubuck, mesh, knit)

  • Level of dirt, staining, and wear

  • Areas requiring special attention

Step 2: Dry Brush & Surface Prep

Loose dirt and debris are gently removed using soft-bristle brushes.
This prevents grit from spreading during wet cleaning and protects sensitive materials from unnecessary abrasion.

Step 3: Deep Clean by Material Type

We clean each sneaker using material-safe solutions and hand-cleaning techniques.
Depending on the sneaker, this may include:

  • Leather-safe cleaning for uppers

  • Targeted stain treatment

  • Gentle brushing for mesh and knit

  • Careful handling of suede and nubuck

No harsh chemicals. No machine washing.

Step 4: Midsole & Outsole Cleaning

Midsoles and outsoles are cleaned separately to restore brightness and remove embedded dirt.
This step often makes the biggest visual difference while keeping the upper materials protected.

Step 5: Rinse & Dry

Sneakers are carefully rinsed and air-dried under controlled conditions.
We avoid:

  • Heat drying

  • Direct sunlight

  • Forced air that can warp materials

This preserves shape, structure, and finish.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Once dry, we:

  • Re-lace (or replace laces if requested)

  • Perform a final inspection

  • Prepare the sneakers for pickup or return

Optional protection treatments may be recommended based on wear and use.

Why Our Process Matters

Our approach prioritizes:

  • Material safety

  • Consistency

  • Long-term wearability

It’s not just about making sneakers look clean, it’s about helping them last.
