Our tips for preserving the effectiveness of the Velcro on your sneakers every day
Velcro is a practical and quick fastening system, ideal for sneakers . But over time and with use, the Velcro on sneakers can lose its stickiness. At JULES & JENN, we give you our tips to keep your Velcro functional and extend its lifespan.
How to extend the lifespan of the Velcro on your sneakers?
To preserve the Velcro straps on your sneakers and ensure their effectiveness, a few simple steps can make all the difference:
- Regular cleaning: Regular maintenance of your sneakers' Velcro straps is essential. Brush the Velcro with a soft brush to remove dust, hair, and other debris that can accumulate and prevent proper adhesion. You can also use a toothpick to dislodge any ingrained dirt.
- Close the Velcro after use: when you are not wearing your sneakers, close the Velcro to prevent it from catching lint, hair or other elements that could impair its effectiveness.
- Handle with care: avoid pulling or forcing the hook and loop fastener. Gentle handling will prolong its lifespan.
- Avoid moisture: moisture can weaken the Velcro's grip. If your sneakers are wet, let them air dry completely before fastening the Velcro.

- Deep cleaning: Clean the Velcro with soapy water and a toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Use adhesive Velcro: If the Velcro is really worn, you can reinforce or replace it with adhesive Velcro. Cut pieces of Velcro the same size as the original Velcro and stick them onto the shoe.
