Care
Maintaining your suede Gazelles is crucial for their longevity and appearance.
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically according to product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing your shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, pat them dry with a clean cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your Gazelles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
