Spring isn’t just about clearing out closets and wiping down windows. It’s also the perfect time to give your footwear a fresh start. And if you’re living in your Calzuro clogs, they deserve some love, too.
These shoes work hard. They support you through long shifts, provide stability during surgeries, and power you through back-to-back 12-hour days.
Just like any piece of equipment you rely on, your clogs perform best when they're properly maintained. Regular cleaning doesn't just keep them looking great. It also helps maintain hygiene, reduce odors, and extend the life of your favorite pair.
Here’s why washing your Calzuro clogs and insoles matters, and how to do it right.
Why Clean Clogs Matter More Than You Think
1. Infection Control Starts at the Ground Level
Whether you're in the OR, clinic, or lab, your shoes are constantly exposed to bacteria, viruses, and contaminants. Regularly washing your Calzuro clogs helps remove everyday buildup and supports a cleaner work environment. It's a simple habit that complements your workplace's hygiene practices while helping prevent unwanted contaminants from traveling between shifts and home.
2. Extend the Life of Your Calzuro Clogs
Cleaning your clogs doesn’t just keep them fresh—it keeps them functional. Sweat, body oils, dirt, and debris can gradually build up over time, affecting both the look and feel of your shoes. Routine cleaning helps preserve the materials and ensures your Calzuro clogs continue providing the comfort and support you count on every day.
3. Healthier Feet = Happier You
Buildup of sweat, skin cells, and bacteria inside your clogs can lead to odor and even skin issues. Regularly washing both your clogs and removeable insoles helps reduce odor-causing bacteria while creating a fresher environment for your feet. It's a small step that can make long shifts feel much more comfortable.
Yes, You Can Wash Your Calzuro Clogs (And Here’s How)
One of the best features of Calzuro Classic clogs is that they’re autoclavable and machine washable, a rare combo that sets them apart in the world of professional footwear.
That means keeping your shoes clean is quick and easy, whether you're freshening them up at home or sterilizing them in a medical setting.
For clogs without insoles:
- Pop them in the washing machine (up to 194°F / 90°C).
- Or, autoclave them for sterilization in medical environments.
- Let them air dry—no dryer needed.
If your Calzuro clogs have removable insoles (like Rebels):
- Remove the insoles and wash them separately with mild soap and warm water.
- Let them air dry completely before putting them back in.
- Wipe down the inside of the shoe while the insoles are drying.
For washing your comfort insoles separately:
- Remove your comfort insoles from your clogs
- Throw them in the washing machine up to 140°F every week
- Or, sterilize them in the autoclave up to 257°F
Bonus: If you have multiple pairs, rotate them so one pair always has time to fully dry and reset.
How Often Should You Wash Them?
Think of it like your scrubs—if you wear them daily, they should be cleaned frequently. We recommend:
-
Every 1–2 weeks for casual wear or administrative roles.
-
1–2 times a week for clinical or surgical settings.
-
Immediately after exposure to bodily fluids or contamination.
If you wear your Calzuro clogs every day, having a second pair makes it easy to rotate between them while one pair is being cleaned and drying completely.
A Clean Shoe Reflects a Clean Standard
Regularly washing your Calzuro clogs shows that you take pride not just in your work, but
in how you show up to do it. Clean shoes signal professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for the hygiene standards your workplace relies on.
As you're checking off your spring cleaning list, don't forget the shoes that support you through every shift. A little routine care helps keep your Calzuro clogs looking their best, feeling fresh, and ready for whatever comes next.
They've supported you all year long. This spring, return the favor with a quick wash and enjoy the comfort of a fresh, clean pair every step of the way.
