Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 990v6 shoes, particularly given their suede components.
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and scuffs on the mesh and suede, use a soft-bristle brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove loose debris. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a very mild soap solution applied with a soft cloth, dabbing gently rather than rubbing vigorously.
Deep Cleaning (Suede): For more stubborn stains on suede, consider a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar diluted with water. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and mesh before first use and periodically thereafter. This adds a protective barrier against moisture and dirt.
Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water if they become dirty.
