Product Care & Maintenance
Given the premium calf leather and suede (nubuck) construction, proper care is crucial for longevity and maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather sections with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear to remove surface dirt. For suede/nubuck areas, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dust and restore the nap.
- Stain Treatment: For minor stains on suede, use a suede eraser. For leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This adds an invisible barrier against moisture and dirt.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or washing machines, as these can damage the delicate materials and colors.
