Care Instructions for Suede
Maintaining the suede on your Field General 82 is key to its longevity and appearance.
- Water Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp (not wet) cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a dedicated suede cleaning kit following its specific instructions.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
