Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your ASICS Gel-Lyte III 'Nice Kicks Spumoni' shoes, especially given their premium leather and suede components:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust from the suede and leather surfaces using a soft-bristled brush.
- Spot Cleaning: For light stains on suede, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry cloth. For leather, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe dry.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): For tougher suede stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For leather, use a reputable leather cleaner and conditioner to clean and moisturize the material, preventing cracking.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or immerse the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede to repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
