Crep: How to Keep Your Trainers Fresh

A fresh pair of trainers can make or break the whole fit, so keeping them looking fresh is essential and always worth the effort. Whether you’re cleaning crisp white kicks, rejuvenating some suede retro-runners or just giving your go-to pair a quick tidy, Crep has the products to help keep your trainers cleaner for longer.

From protective sprays to quick fixes for little scuffs and marks, the right shoe protection can make a real difference to your trainer care routine.

What Is Crep Protect and What Does It Do?

Crep products are designed to help protect, clean and maintain your footwear for longer. They cover everything from water and stain protection to brushes, cleaning solutions and wipes, making it easier to look after different materials and keep your trainers in good shape.

The key is knowing what your shoes need. A protective spray helps reduces the risk stains by shielding the outer layer of the shoe, while a dedicated cleaning kit tackles dirt that’s already built up around the shoe. Explore the Crep Shoe Care Collection to find the right essentials for your shoes.

Crep Protect Spray: To Help Keep Stains at Bay

Nobody wants to see a nasty stain or some stubborn dirt ruin a fresh pair of kicks. Crep Rain and Stain Shoe Care Spray creates a protective barrier that repels water and other liquids, reducing the risk of stains and making it a useful first step when caring for footwear.

To apply it, start with clean, dry trainers, shake the can and follow the instructions on the label. Apply evenly in a well-ventilated area, keeping to the recommended distance, then allow the shoes to dry fully before wearing them. Always check material compatibility first, particularly with delicate finishes.

Can You Use Crep Spray on Suede?

Yes, certain Crep Protect sprays are suitable for suede, but make sure you always check the product instructions before you apply anything! Suede needs more care than smooth leather or synthetic materials, so test the spray on a small area first. Avoid drowning the shoes with spray and soaking them through, just let them air dry naturally.

If you’re looking for reliable suede care, the Crep Suede and Nubuck Reviver Brush is worth adding to your care kit. It helps brush away surface dirt and keeps suede looking fresh, without treating it like ordinary mesh or leather.

Keep Your Trainers Clean with Crep Wipes and Erasers

Protection is one thing, but everyday wear still finds a way to leave its mark. Dust, scuffs and dirty midsoles can build up quickly, particularly on lighter colourways. Keeping a few cleaning essentials close by means small marks can be dealt with before they become a bigger job.

The Crep Protect Trainer Wipes are handy for quick clean-ups, whether you're freshening up your trainers after a day out or sorting a small spill. For targeted marks, the Crep Shoe Eraser offers another option for tackling scuffs. Make sure you always check the material guidance before cleaning, as textured suede and delicate finishes require a gentler touch.
