Winter Sneakers - these kicks last longer

So if you want your sneakers to last a long time, it's important to keep them clean! But it's also important to look for durability and longevity when buying sneakers. For example, leather creases more quickly than other materials. Nevertheless, such uppers are easy to keep clean.

Suede lasts longest when combined with mesh. It doesn't crease, but it's important to waterproof it well beforehand.

What also helps your kicks stay good for a long time is GORE-TEX. This material prevents your shoes from getting dirty in any weather. It's breathable but still water repellent and has been tried and tested for years. Looking for a pair that's rainproof? Then check our search engine for "GORE-TEX" models. You'll find classic sneaker models that are made to be robust for the winter.

Here are five more trendy sneakers that will last you a long time.

This New Balance 2002R is not only stylish, but also has a GORE-TEX layer. This means you don't have to clean your shoes as often and it's easier to keep them in good condition.

This Air Jordan 1 also has a GORE-TEX coating. This protects the upper from dirty mud stains and wet weather .

These ASICS stand out because of the bright colours on the upper. To do these colours justice, there is also a GORE-TEX layer over the upper, which ensures that you have the colour for as long as possible!
