# How to Clean Slip-on Sneakers
Slip-on sneakers typically come in two fabric types: canvas or suede. Suede takes more time and effort to clean than canvas, but they both wear the same. The only real difference is the person's preference. Several companies, such as Converse, Vans, and Nike, produce slip-on sneakers, but the way they suggest to clean their shoes differs. The key to cleaning your particular brand of shoe is reading the care instructions on the tag.
