Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently brush away debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
