01 · Prep

Get them ready

Only our Archive Sale styles have removable insoles. If you have an Archive pair, take the insoles out and wash them separately from the shoes, but in the same wash.

Use a gentle detergent.

02 · Wash

Wool programme, cold water

Machine wash on a wool programme or similar, cold water cycle, with a slow or no-spin setting. Only use a mild, enzyme-free liquid detergent.

03 · Dry

Air dry – no tumble dry

Let your TABI air dry for at least 48 hours, until they are completely dry and soft again. Never put them in the tumble dryer, and don’t pull the upper while it’s wet.
