Protection: Before initial wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.

Cleaning: For light dust or dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Never use a hairdryer or direct sunlight, as this can damage the suede.

Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape.
