Take care of your Earth Soles, and your Earth Soles will take care of you. Read our advice for longer-lasting barefootwear:

• Your shoes will mold to your feet over time. If they're too tight initially, wet them while wearing them for faster stretching.

• Once they fit comfortably, avoid getting them wet to prevent further stretching.

• If they do get wet, air-dry them away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the soles in good condition by using beeswax or Dubbin. We also sell natural beeswax to support your Earth Sole here.

• Try to avoid hot, abrasive pavements and tar as the sole will wear through faster
   

Problem Solving

• If the waxed thread wears through, a drop of one-second glue will prevent unraveling.

• It can be that your Earth Soles have widened too much through wear. Watch our video to find out how to shrink them.
