Our Craft & Care Guide
At DIYSNEAKS, every single pair of your custom sneaks is uniquely crafted and inspected fresh just for you. Because your kicks are made-to-order, proper care will keep your prints vibrant and your shoes looking brand new for years to come.
How Your Sneaks Are Made (The Production Process)
We don’t do mass-produced, dusty warehouse inventory. Here is the journey of your custom pair:
- 1. Precision Crafting: The moment you place an order, our production team brings your chosen design to life using industry-leading, eco-friendly textile inks, tailored to your selected sneaker style.
- 2. Heat Curing & Fusion: The custom prints undergo a specialized thermal curing process. This permanently fuses the ink pigments into the sneaker canvas or fabric fibers, preventing fading, cracking, or peeling even with regular wear.
- 3. Strict Quality Assurance (QA): Every sneaker is carefully inspected under high-intensity lighting for stitching integrity, print alignment, color accuracy, and structural perfection before boxing.
Note: This premium custom process typically takes 1–3 business days before your unique pair is handed over to our shipping carriers.
Sneaker Care Instructions
Our custom-printed sneakers are highly durable and water-resistant, but they love premium treatment. Follow these guidelines to keep them pristine:
- Daily Cleaning: For light dirt or dust, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth or microfiber towel.
- Deep Washing: If a deeper clean is needed, mix warm water with a few drops of mild laundry detergent. Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub the dirty areas in gentle, circular motions.
- Machine Washing (Not Recommended): To preserve the structural integrity of the sneaker sole and premium prints, please avoid machine washing or machine drying.
- Drying: Always air-dry your sneakers at room temperature in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources (hairdryers, radiators) and intense sunlight, which can warp the shoe shape or fade prints.
