Care
To ensure your suede 'Paola' shoes maintain their pristine appearance and last for years, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, generously apply a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water, stains, and dirt. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt after each wear. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or marks, gently rub with a suede eraser. For more stubborn dry stains, use the suede brush to lift the fibers and then apply the eraser.
- Moisture Exposure: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing your shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with crumpled newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Deep Stains: For oil-based or very stubborn stains, it is best to consult a professional shoe cleaner to avoid damaging the suede.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original dust bags or a breathable cloth bag. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases.
- Avoid Direct Heat/Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause suede to fade or dry out and crack.
