Caring for Your Ilse Jacobsen shoes

To maintain the refined appearance and enduring comfort of shoes, we recommend a gentle, consistent care routine.

• Clean the upper gently: Wipe the recycled microfibre upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth to clear away daily dust and dirt. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or vigorous scrubbing to protect the delicate laser-cut detailing and the metallic finish.

• Machine wash with care: If you remove the insoles, the shoes can be washed at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle. Always air dry thoroughly after washing and avoid direct heat.

• Refresh the insoles: Remove the cushioned, pig suede-lined footbeds regularly to allow them to air out. You can gently brush the surface with a clean, dry suede brush to restore the nap and keep the interior feeling fresh.

• Maintain the rubber outsoles: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to dislodge dirt from the treads of the natural and recycled rubber sole.

• Dry naturally: If your shoes get wet during everyday wear, allow them to air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the flexible rubber and the stitched, glue-free construction.

FAQs

·         How do these shoes fit?
The Ilse Jacobsen Tulip shoes are designed with a yielding recycled microfibre upper that naturally adapts to the foot over time. It is recommended to select a snug fit initially, as the material will expand slightly with regular wear to create a custom feel. For individuals who frequently fall between sizes, opting for the smaller size often provides the best long-term fit.

·         Is the Ilse Jacobsen Tulip suitable for all-day wear and travel?
The Ilse Jacobsen Tulip is specifically engineered to support extended periods on foot, making the shoe highly suitable for travel, daily commuting, and busy work environments. The signature flexible outsole, crafted from natural and recycled rubber, moves intuitively with the natural stride to prevent fatigue. Additionally, the lightweight, laser-cut construction ensures continuous breathability and consistent comfort throughout the day.

·         Does the Ilse Jacobsen shoes accommodate wider or narrower feet?
The forgiving nature of the laser-cut upper allows these shoes to gently mould to a variety of foot shapes. While the shoe suits a standard width exceptionally well, the unrestrictive microfibre provides comfortable accommodation for slightly wider feet without causing restrictive pressure points. Individuals with particularly narrow feet may find the slip-on profile feels a little relaxed after the initial expansion of the material.

·         What level of arch support does these shoes provide?
They includes a removable, suede-lined insole that offers gentle padding and moderate arch support. This thoughtfully cushioned footbed provides reliable shock absorption for regular daily walking. Should a wearer require specialised or structural support, the existing insole can be easily removed to accommodate a custom orthotic insert.

·         How durable are the materials used on these shoes?
The Ilse Jacobsen Tulip shoe is crafted using a considered glue-free construction, where the upper is expertly stitched directly to the outsole using durable recycled thread. This robust technique, combined with the resilient blend of natural and recycled rubber in the base, ensures excellent longevity and prevents sole separation. Furthermore, the recycled microfibre upper is designed to withstand regular daily use while gracefully maintaining its refined metallic finish.
