For optimal longevity and appearance, proper care is essential, especially for the suede elements. - Cleaning: For the mesh and textile parts, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution. For pig skin suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. - Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and textiles to protect against elements and spills. - Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
