How to Look After Your AYLLA Shoes

Our shoes are made using a variety of materials ~ each with its own characteristics and care needs. Below you’ll find everything you need to know to preserve the quality, comfort, and lifespan of your barefoot shoes.


🟤 FULL-GRAIN LEATHER

Upper: Full-grain leather

Lining: Antiallergenic microfiber lining

Sole: 4 mm recyclable TPR

About:
Full-grain leather naturally features surface variations, which means it absorbs dyes unevenly, creating unique tonal differences in each pair. This breathable leather helps manage moisture but requires regular care to prevent drying and support its natural water resistance.

Care Tips:

  • Remove dirt with a soft brush.
  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth and let air dry.
  • Use Collonil Bamboo Lotion to clean.
  • Nourish with a leather cream or use a nanotech impregnation spray for ongoing protection.
  • Avoid oily treatments unless you want a darker, more aged look, uneven absorption is normal.
  • Never dry near direct heat.
  • Use natural shoe deodorant to eliminate odors.

 

⚫ COATED LEATHER

Upper: Coated full-grain leather

Lining: Antiallergenic microfiber lining

Sole: 4 mm rubber

About:
Coated leather has a thin synthetic layer that protects the surface and makes cleaning easier, while retaining the positive properties of real leather.

Care Tips:

  • Brush off dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Clean with Collonil Bamboo Lotion.
  • Apply nanotech impregnation spray for added protection.
  • Do NOT use oily products ~ they can leave marks or “maps.” If this happens, try degreasing with a cloth and warm air (e.g., hairdryer). 
  • Avoid heat sources and use natural deodorant as needed.
