Steve Madden Madden Leyton Sn62 - Grey - Size UK 9

Thin to medium-weight socks made of cotton, wool, or blends are generally recommended. Avoid very thick socks that might make the shoes feel too tight.

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in the rain, as water can easily damage the material and cause staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some limited protection.

Apply a suede protector spray when the shoes are new and reapply every few months, or after cleaning, especially if they have been exposed to moisture.

These are best suited for smart-casual or business-casual settings. They are generally not considered formal wear.

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a clean pencil eraser or a suede brush. For deeper scuffs, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.

Wear the shoes around the house with appropriate socks to allow them to stretch slightly. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain shape and provide a gentle stretch.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to blend the color and texture. Applying a suede protector beforehand can help prevent future spots.

Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector.
