1. Cleaning - no fear of water & soap
Light dirt on wooden soles and leather can simply be brushed off (leather prefers soft brushes). If that is not enough, use water (and soap). With lukewarm water and a sponge you can easily scrub the wooden sole , water does not harm the wood!
For leather, a gentle agent, e.g. wool detergent or hair shampoo, in the water can help to dissolve the dirt. It is important to rub the entire surface oft he leather with a sponge and lukewarm soapy water, not just the dirt spots. This allows the leather to dry stain-free.
2. Drying - wait and see
Now comes the easiest part - do nothing! The wet shoes should dry slowly on their own - never on the heating or in the sun. This prevents the leather from becoming hard by drying out too quickly and avoids cracks in the wooden sole due to a too fast temperature change.
3. Care - wellness treatment for wood and leather
We know it from garden furniture & co: oil cares for the wood and brings back the magic of the beginning. Use linseed oil or baby oil for all our light-coloured wooden soles . For the dark wooden soles , choose a suitable furniture oil, preferably of the same colour, or this tinting oil. Put a small amount of oil on a soft, lint-free cloth and rub it gently into the wooden soles. Be careful not to apply too much oil at once, repeat this procedure a second time if necessary. Please ensure that no oil gets on the leather.
For the leather, use a suitable leather care product - depending on whether your SOFTCLOX are made of smooth or suede leather - and work the product into the leather. Follow the instructions of the particular care product, as the application may differ depending on the product/material. This keeps the leather nice and supple.
Finish by impregnatingthe leather, as this provides good protection against dirt and stains. And the impregnation also puts a stop to moisture. Read more about impregnating SOFTCLOX here.

Dear Softclox team
There is a very limited selection of Softclox sandals with the ‘small’ fit – and the ‘normal’ ones are too wide for me. Will you be making some more models to choose from in the future?
Best regards
Mette
Dear Mette, thanks for your input. The following might be helpful for you: all SOFTCLOX models that start with the same letter have identical soles (and sole measurements) and should therefore fit you – even if some of them are occasionally found in the “normal” category. You will also find a link to the sole measurements under each model. Here you can find out by exact measurements whether the shoe will fit. Our professionals in the online shop will also be happy to help you with personal advice. You can reach them on weekdays by email: shop@softclox.com or phone: +49 89 – 189 498 33
Best regards!
Hallo….,
würde mir gerne ein Paar softclox stiefletten bestellen. Habe normal die Gr 40… wie fallen die softclox in der Gr aus? z. B. musste ich bei dem Hersteller vagabond auf die Gr 41 gehen, da bei denen die Schuhe eher klein ausfallen.
Würde mich über eine Antwort freuen.
LG
Ria Ophey
Liebe Ria,
wir haben bei jedem Schuh einen Link zur Maßtabelle hinterlegt (-> Sohlenmaße, zu finden unter den Schuhgrößen). Hier können Sie zu jeder Sohle und Größe die genauen Maße entnehmen. Gerne können Sie bei weiteren Fragen auch die Kolleginnen im Onlineshop kontaktieren: shop@softclox.com oder +49 89 189 49 833 Beste Grüße!
Guter Beitrag, man sollte sein Schuhe echt öfter und besser pflegen. Teilweise halten das Schuhe auch ewig. Vielen lieben Gruß
Mein Softclogxsschuh ist defekt , wohin kann ich ihn senden? Wie ist der Ablauf. Beim Schuster war ich, dieser nimmt den Auftrag nicht an, da er mit der Beschädigung an der Holzsohle überfordert ist.
Bitte um Hilfe.
LG Inez
Hallo Inez, bitte wenden Sie sich per Email an info@softclox.com und schicken aussagekräftige Bilder der Schuhe mit. So können wir die Sachlage besser prüfen.

Hallo‚
Ist es möglich,eine helle Holzsohle schwarz oder wenigstens dunkler zu färben ?
Liebe Grüße,Matti
Liebe Meike,
ganz lieben Dank für Ihren Kommentar.
Um eine Sohle aufzufrischen, empfiehlt sich die Verwendung eines dunklen Pflegeöls, das auch für Teakholzmöbel benutzt wird.
Empfehlen können wir Ihnen das Abtönöl der Marke Naturhaus in der Farbe Espressobraun, das Sie hier bekommen:

Bitte die Gebrauchsanweisung beachten und nicht zuviel Öl auf einmal und dafür lieber zweimal auftragen.
Herzlichst
Ihr SOFTCLOX Team
