Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 2002R shoes:
Cleaning Suede:
Use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush is recommended) to gently remove loose dirt and dust.
For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Brush the suede in one direction to restore its nap.
Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals, which can damage the material.
Cleaning Mesh Uppers:
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth using mild soap and water.
Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove any soap residue.
Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
General Care:
Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain shape. Air dry at room temperature; do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
