The distinctive red suede makes them a statement piece, best complemented by neutral or complementary color palettes in your clothing.
Caring for your red suede WallabeeEVO Derby shoes is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity:
Water and Stain Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and dirt.
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently brush away surface dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used to lift marks. For deeper stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied with a cloth and then brushed may be necessary.
Avoid Water: Suede is highly sensitive to water. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions unless they are thoroughly protected.
Drying: If the shoes do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store your suede shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.
