HOW DO I WEAR IN AND CARE FOR MY PRODUCTS?
With the right approach, you can ensure long lasting wear.
FINDING THE PERFECT FIT
Before diving into breaking in your new shoes, ensure you've got the right fit. A properly fitting shoe should feel snug at the heel and midfoot, with wiggle room around the toes.TAKE IT SLOW
Start by wearing your new shoes for short periods, gradually increasing wear time.For leather styles, wearing thick socks offers added cushioning and aids in accelerating the softening process.
KEEP UP THE CARE
We recommend using a sneaker protector to form a barrier against dirt and stains, making cleaning easier. For cleaning, promptly remove excess dirt or moisture to prevent long-term damage, always use cleaning products specifically designed for sneakers, and avoid washing them in the machine, as this can damage fastenings and glue.You can shop the full range of shoe care here.

CAN YOUR PRODUCTS BE RECYCLED?
We're considerate of the materials used in our products and are working hard to reduce our impact.
TREADLIGHTLY SPORTS SHOE RECYCLING
Accent Group, our parent company, is a proud member of the Australian Sporting Goods Association.Each year, over 25 million pairs of sports shoes are imported into Australia, with only 1% estimated to be recycled. To help reduce the amount of footwear in landfill, we partnered with the ASGA and support its TreadLightly program.
TreadLightly is a national recycling initiative that takes unwanted lifestyle footwear and responsibly recycles it in Australia to give in new life. Reclaimed materials from each shoe are broken down into crumb, which is then used to manufacture new products including gym mats, floors, and playgrounds.
Each of our stores acts as TreadLightly collection point, and you can find more information on the TreadLightly website.
There are some items that cannot be recycled due to composition, this includes leather business shoes, high heels, and steel cap safety boots. If they are in good condition, you can always donate them to an external organisation of your choice.

HOW DO YOU MANUFACTURE YOUR PRODUCTS?
We prioritise quality, ethics, comfort, and style, ensuring our products and manufacturers meet our standards.
OWNED BRANDS
Across our operations, Accent Group owned brands continue to utilise a bespoke onboarding process for new suppliers and manufacturing facilities. Our onboarding process requires a formal and staged approval process that includes an assessment of the suppliers’ suitability to manufacture or supply products to Accent Group. Once an assessment is completed to our satisfaction, the relevant General Manager must approve the onboarding request before moving forward.Prior to onboarding, suppliers must sign and return a copy of the Accent Group Ethical Sourcing Policy and demonstrate that an independent, valid social compliance audit has been completed. Once received, the social compliance audit is assessed internally.
In addition to the Accent Group Ethical Sourcing Policy, we also ensure suppliers receive a copy of our
Manufacturing Agreement, which sets out the terms and expectations which our suppliers must agree to in order to manufacture and supply products to Accent Group.The Manufacturing Agreement applies to all suppliers of Accent Group owned brands and is expected be signed and returned to us by all such suppliers to Accent Group.

We acknowledge our responsibility also exists with our distributed or exclusive brands and will continue to work with these brands directly to ensure their sourcing frameworks align to our expectations.Our Brand Mangers, who own the relationships with our global brand partners, have formed relationships with their respective brand’s Ethical Sourcing or Compliance Managers. In doing so, we have begun to collate key documentation from our brand partners such as:
