Maintaining the suede on your Vans Old Skool trainers will ensure their longevity and appearance:
Brush Regularly: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
Spot Clean Stains: For minor stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a clean cloth dampened with a small amount of suede cleaner. Dab, don't rub, to lift the stain.
Deep Cleaning: For tougher dirt, you may need a dedicated suede cleaning kit. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Air Dry: Always allow suede to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
Avoid Wet Conditions: Suede can be damaged by heavy rain or excessive moisture. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.
