Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your UGG Astromel Platforms come ready to wear. Before your first outing, you may wish to experiment with the included lace styles. The satin laces offer a softer, more elegant look, perfect for fashion-forward outfits, while the flat ticked laces provide a classic, secure fit suitable for everyday wear. Simply thread the laces through the eyelets to achieve your desired aesthetic and tightness.
Compatibility
These platforms are incredibly versatile and can complement a wide range of styles:
- Casual Chic: Pair with high-waisted jeans, a simple tee, and a blazer for an elevated everyday look.
- Street Style: Combine with cargo pants, an oversized hoodie, or a graphic t-shirt for an edgy vibe.
- Feminine Edge: Wear with flowy midi skirts, dresses, or tailored shorts to add a contemporary twist.
Care
Given the mixed materials (suede, nylon, recycled textile), proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Astromel Platforms:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede areas with a quality suede and nubuck protector spray to repel water and stains.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs on suede, use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For nylon and recycled textile areas, wipe with a damp cloth.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, use a specialist suede cleaner for suede parts and a mild soap solution with a soft brush for nylon/textile. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
