Caring for the materials

Polyprotect leather

Wipe with a damp cloth and apply leather cream or spray every 2–3 weeks.

Micropolytex and textile

Clean with a dry brush or a slightly damp sponge. A washing machine will distort the shape.

NanoTex membrane

Dry away from radiators. Water-repellent spray does not harm the membrane.

Insoles

Take them out and air them after each day, especially in winter.

FAQ

Is Grunberg really an Italian brand?

The brand presents itself as Italian, created in 2007. Where each pair was made is listed on its product page.

Can I dry membrane shoes on a radiator?

No. Intense heat damages the membrane, glue and leather. Dry at room temperature with the insole removed.

Can textile sneakers go in the washing machine?

We advise against it: the drum and heat deform the sole and heel counter. Hand-clean with a brush and a mild cleaner instead.

How do I pick the right size?

Compare your foot length with the insole length listed on the product page. For winter models, leave 0.5–1 cm for a warm sock. Learn more

What if the pair does not fit?

You can exchange or return it within 14 days. Nova Poshta delivery takes 1–3 business days. Learn more
