Care
Proper care for suede shoes is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt, dust, and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a clean cloth or sponge slightly dampened with a specialized suede cleaner. Dab gently; do not rub vigorously, as this can damage the suede.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Water: Suede is susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If unavoidable, ensure they are properly dried and re-protected afterward.
- Storage: Store your Gazelles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
