Suede Cleaning:
Brush off loose dirt with a suede brush (Info needed: specific type if any) in one direction.
For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.

Mesh Cleaning:
Gently wipe mesh areas with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and cool water.
Avoid abrasive cleaners.
General Cleaning:
Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
For stubborn marks on the midsole, a soft-bristled brush with mild soap can be effective.
Drying:
Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can warp materials.
Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and mesh to protect against the elements and prolong their appearance.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
