Brush Off Loose Dirt: Use a soft-bristled suede brush (or a clean toothbrush) to gently remove any surface dirt or dust. Brush in one direction. 2. Spot Clean Stains: For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede and nubuck cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth or brush and gently dab the stain. Avoid rubbing vigorously. 3. Air Dry: Always allow your shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.* Protection: * Water and Stain Repellent: Apply a quality suede and nubuck protective spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against water and stains. * Avoid Harsh Conditions: Try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, snow, or muddy conditions to prevent extensive damage.* Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
