How can I clean Gales products?

Gales shoes are built for healthcare workers. Our Front Lines are the best shoes for standing all day in the hospital, emergency room, or wherever you need to be. Gales nursing shoes are antimicrobial, fluid-resistant, and bleach-friendly, making them a breeze to clean while you’re on the go.
