Casual Wear: Excellent with denim, chinos, corduroys, and cargo pants.

Seasonal: Best suited for dry weather. Avoid heavy rain or excessively muddy conditions.
Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede with a high-quality suede protector spray to repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
Cleaning: For light dirt, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush off debris in one direction. For stubborn marks or stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution applied with a clean cloth.
Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Cleaning: Crepe soles can pick up dirt and become slightly sticky. To clean, gently rub the affected area with a damp cloth (not wet) or use a specialized crepe sole cleaner. Some people use masking tape to lift off surface dirt.
Avoid Oils/Grease: Keep crepe soles away from oily substances, as they can cause permanent stains and degradation.
Wear Patterns: Natural crepe will develop unique wear patterns and may darken over time; this is a characteristic of the material and not a defect.
