Care
Maintaining the suede upper is key to prolonging the life and appearance of these trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage suede.
- Suede Brush: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the suede.
- Suede Cleaner: For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaning product, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Avoid Water Saturation: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff with paper to absorb moisture and let air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Protection Spray: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, re-applying periodically.
