Care
Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your suede trainers:
- Suede Upper:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or water, as they can damage the suede.
- Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- EVA Midsole: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Rubber Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain shape.
