Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Palermo Vintage shoes:
Cleaning the Textile Upper: Gently wipe the textile areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Cleaning Suede Overlays: For suede, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. For tougher marks, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied according to its instructions. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
Gum Sole Care: The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Protection: Consider applying a suede and textile protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
