PaperKrane shoes fit differently than conventional footwear - our barefoot design means a wider toe box and more natural foot shape.

Shoe Care | Cleaning
Keep your PKs looking fresh with proper care and protection:
Daily maintenance: Spot clean as needed with a damp cloth and mild soap for minor marks and everyday upkeep.
Deep cleaning: For thorough cleaning, gently hand wash with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry completely. Always avoid washing machines, dryers, heat sources, dyes, or harsh chemicals that can damage materials and affect fit.
Protect your PKs: We suggest using a product that is suitable for vegan materials, such as:
- KIWI SNEAKER PROTECTOR - a general purpose spray great for most materials
- COLLONIL Organic Cream - a cream for vegan leather, if you’re wanting something more than a protective spray (rub it in to keep the surface to keep it nice and healthy)
