Care Instructions
Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers is key:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft-bristled shoe brush or a dedicated suede brush.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub away marks. For tougher spots, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner onto a clean cloth and gently blot the area. Always test in an inconspicuous spot first.
- Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to damp conditions.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash suede trainers, as this can severely damage the material and structure.
