How to Clean Snibbs Shoes: The Complete Care Guide
Brittany Shepard
Your Snibbs are built to handle long shifts, busy kitchens, hospital floors, and everything in between. A little routine care can help keep them looking fresh and performing at their best for years to come.
The good news? Most Snibbs styles are easy to clean at home using a few simple steps.
Before You Start
No matter which Snibbs style you wear, always begin by removing loose dirt and debris.
Use a soft or medium-bristle brush to gently clean the outsole and midsole before applying any water or soap. This prevents dirt from spreading during cleaning and helps protect the upper materials.
The Universal Cleaning Method
For most cleaning situations, less is more.
- Start dry by brushing away loose dirt and debris.
- Spot clean only where needed using a small amount of water and mild soap.
- Use a soft cloth, sponge, or towel to gently clean affected areas.
- Wipe away any soap residue with clean water.
- Allow your shoes to air dry completely before wearing them again.
A Few Things to Avoid
To help preserve your shoes' materials and performance, avoid:
- Bleach, alcohol, acetone, or harsh cleaning chemicals
- Stiff brushes or abrasive scrubbers
- Magic erasers on delicate materials
- Heat dryers, direct heat, or machine dryers
- Soaking your shoes in water
Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally.

Keep Your Snibbs Looking Their Best
A quick clean every few weeks—and after especially messy shifts—can go a long way toward extending the life of your shoes. By using gentle cleaning methods and allowing your shoes to air dry naturally, you'll help preserve the comfort, support, and appearance that keep you moving through every shift.
