If you get your Orba shoes a little dirty, spot clean them with a soft bristle brush and cold soapy water (using either a bar of soap or liquid soap). Remove the laces and soak them in the soapy water.

The shoe upper is coated with an eco + non-toxic footwear protector that may require refreshing with heavy wear. This is safe to hand wash.

The products we've selected are made to be worn —beautifully and often, year after year. To help them last, follow these general guidelines:

  • While our pieces are crafted to be durable, they’ll appreciate a gentle touch.
  • Most items can be spot cleaned with a soft cloth, mild/wool detergent and warm water. Avoid harsh abrasives or prolonged soaking unless otherwise noted.
  • Always check the individual product care labels
  • Avoid sudden changes in temperature (like straight from warm to cold water) to prevent thermal shock.
  • Always store knits folded. Avoid hanging pants on hanger clips long term.

About the brand

Orba Shoes are a New Zealand based company making shoes from 100% natural materials. These shoes are biodegradable but that’s not to say they will degrade on your foot. Rather Orba shoes are certified IOS for safety and durability for footwear.
