Common Projects low top achilles - shoe trees and general care

[Steel28]

Hello Gents,

Can someone share best practices that they use to general care for CP white achilles ie do I need to use shoe trees in them and what shoe care products are good to use on napa leather?

cheers

do neither. they are sneakers. they are meant to be worn and beaten up.

hmm, thanks!

Still thinking to either keep the low tops that I got or exchange for mid tops....

doubtful on the shoe trees, cp is on the low end for leather..

Could you elaborate on that? I'm looking for a few better quality sneakers and have been considering CP's as well.

Sorry to resurrect a long dead thread, but I was planning on putting my geobaskets and common projects in long-term storage for a while and I'm not sure how exactly to care for them.

I was thinking of placing them in dustbags, putting them in their respective boxes box and chucking them into my closet for about 6 months but I'm not sure if shoe trees are appropriate for controlling the moisture content that would affect the leather and to help them keep their shape.

For 6 months, I think you'd be fine simply stuffing the sneakers with the paper that originally came inside them. I don't think shoe trees will do much for your sneakers. They don't necessarily need to keep their shape like a dress shoes do.
