PRODUCT
Neutra sneakers are handcrafted in France using premium quality leathers. Since leather is a natural material, you might notice subtle contrasts between products or small imperfections in the grain – these shouldn’t be considered flaws, they’re what make each pair unique.
Fading over time due to intensive wear and susceptibility to scratches or abrasions are also a natural characteristic of leather.
Are your sneakers unisex?
All of our models are unisex, however, the smaller sizes are built on a women’s last.
How are the Neutra sneakers manufactured?
We design everything with sustainability in mind. We carefully consider the raw materials we use and we always strive to always introduce better materials. We make sure that our products are compliant with chemical regulations such as REACH, to ensure that health and security is prioritised.
Our leather is solely sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, an independent organisation that ensures both ethical and environmentally good practices within the factories.
Where possible we always prioritise post consumer recycled materials.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Full leather
Leather items need special care and attention. After purchasing a leather sneaker, we recommend you apply a thin layer of leather balm to it before the first use. Approximately 15 minutes after doing so, you should brush the dried surface to keep its finish in good condition. Once you’ve done that, spray a leather protector evenly over the surface to help create a water- and dirt-repellent barrier. To prolong the life and quality of your item, repeat this process regularly.
Sneaker wipes are a good way to keep your leather items clean and in good condition. Having one tucked away in your pocket will come in handy on days you accidentally step in a puddle.
Suede
It’s easy to forget that suede needs the same amount of care and attention as leather. It may not need any creams or balms applied, but the rest of the procedure applies. Start by brushing the surface with a suede brush to restore the nap and keep the finish in good condition. Then, spray a suede protector evenly over the surface to help create a water- and dirt- repellent barrier. To prolong the life and quality of your item, repeat this process regularly. Remember, suede has a velvet-like texture, so it’s much more fragile than leather and more susceptible to staining.
If needed, use a cleaner made of natural ingredients. Some leather cleaners actually do more harm than good.
Rubber soles
The soles on Neutra sneakers are usually white and we know that keeping them clean is not easy. But here’s a process that helps. First, remove any excess dirt from the soles using a damp cloth. If stains remain, scrub the soles with a toothbrush and soapy water – that’ll help you get into those hard-to-reach areas. The outer edges of the soles shouldn’t be scrubbed as that can alter the look of the rubber or damage the leather upper. Once you’re happy with the result of the cleaning process, dry off the soles with a cloth. We recommend not waiting too long to clean the soles of your shoes. The dirt will only settle deeper, making the cleaning process much more difficult.
