For optimal longevity and appearance, proper care is essential, especially given the pigskin suede and mesh materials:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and textile footwear before first wear to repel water and stains.
Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush (like a suede brush) to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Cleaning Mesh/Synthetic: A mild soap diluted in water with a soft cloth or brush can clean these areas. Gently wipe and then rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer.
