Caring for your suede New Balance 204L sneakers is crucial for their longevity and appearance:
Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. Reapply periodically as recommended by the product manufacturer.
Cleaning: For surface dirt and scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them 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 Water: Suede is particularly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing your sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions.
