 Birkenstock and Chaco have been beloved brands for many years. One question that is often asked, however, is what the proper care and cleaning is for these shoes and how to keep them in the best shape possible. Those who wear Chaco and Birkenstock will wear them anywhere while doing just about anything—from rock hopping and running errands, to participating in everyday life events. All of these activities can be hard on shoes as time goes on and make them harder to clean! Below we will discuss the best ways to care for and clean these shoes, and how to keep them in great condition no matter where life takes you!
When it comes to Chaco sandals the cleaning process is fairly simple. Wash your sandals with a load of laundry on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent or baking soda with cold water. Make sure you don’t add any bleach because this can be damaging to the straps! After your sandals come out of the washer leave them to air dry. Do not place sandals near a heat source because high heat has been known to cause damage to these shoes. It’s also incredibly important to “floss” your Chaco straps because, over the course of wear, dirt and grime can get in these channels where the straps enter and exit the midsole This can create excess odor and cause your straps to stick. By squirting fabric softener into the strap slots and pulling the straps, you will be able to remove the offending grit. The care and cleaning protocol for Birkenstock is a bit different from that of Chaco. Like many materials found in footwear and apparel, the cork footbed of Birkenstock can be damaged by exposure to concentrated heat or extreme temperatures. So it’s best to keep them away from direct sunlight for extended periods of time! To keep your Birkenstock footwear fresh, spray the entire footbed with Birkenstock Cleaner & Refresher and wipe away excess moisture and dirt with a cloth. Brush the suede material and footbed with a nubuck/suede brush to restore the shoes original condition! To protect the upper leather part of the shoe, apply Birkenstock Water & Stain to remove dirt. Overall, the best way to clean off Birkenstock is by simply wiping them clean with a damp cloth. If there is a stubborn stain, try soap and water! At Abbadabba’s we pride ourselves on carrying brands that are durable and great quality. Both Chaco and Birkenstock footwear are incredibly made, and when caring for and cleaning them properly, they are sure to be the best shoes in your closet! Come stop by any of our 3 locations and we will help you find a pair that you’ll love!  When it comes to buying shoes, knowledge is power.

When choosing your next pair of running shoes, comfort is especially important.

Fall and Winter are upon us and with the new crisp weather comes many different fun ways to pair stylish and layered looks. As soon as the first cold front hits, fashion forward fans everywhere are running to their closets to pull out their favorite boots and booties. As a rule of thumb, boots with a taller shaft look the best when tucked into skinny jeans, and booties are styled better with jeans untucked or cuffed. Let’s break down a few different ways our team suggests pairing these two different styles! Flat ankle booties are best styled with skinny jeans, dresses, and jean shorts, for an easily casual, everyday look. For warmer days, when you can still throw on a pair of shorts, flat ankle booties can take the outfit to the next level. Ankle booties are an easy Fall/Winter shoe made to slip on and wear all day, while still looking your absolute best. Kork Ease, Bussola, Frye, and Naot are all unique brands that give options of both flat and heeled booties. A Heeled Bootie can add a more formal look to your outfit and is best paired with wide leg pants, flowy dresses, and distressed denim. Booties with a heel can be dressed up for date night or dressed down with skinny jeans and a tee for a casual day running errands. Boots with a taller shaft are a statement piece and perfect with skinny jeans to avoid bunching of the material around the knees! A few brands that have an array of options of taller shaft boots are Clarks, Frye, and Vionic. Each of these brands will offer a look of sophistication that will take your outfit to another level. Skinny jeans, and flowy skirts pair perfectly with a pair of tall boots and elongate the body to provide a longer and leaner look. Even though both booties and boots can be styled in unique and different ways, they both have one thing in common: They look amazing with skinny jeans! No matter which style boot you already own or choose to buy, you really can’t go wrong. The options are endless, so choose your shoe depending on the look and style you are trying to achieve! Visit one of our three locations in Buckhead, East Cobb or Little Five Points to shop our selection of boots!  Fall is here and that means it’s time to put away your shorts and bring out the jeans. Finding a shoe that goes well with your favorite pair of denim can be tough. At Abbadabba's we have a variety of shoes for that will pair well with your favorite pair of jeans.
