Proper care is essential to maintain the premium suede upper and overall condition of your sneakers.
Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede protectant spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub off marks. For tougher stains, a suede cleaning solution applied with a soft cloth or brush (following product instructions) can be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash suede sneakers, as this can severely damage the material, adhesives, and overall structure.
