Water Protection: Apply a suede protectant spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and prevent stains, crucial for suede.
Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
