Care
Proper care, especially for the suede material, is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your shoes:
- Protection: Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions to repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush off loose dirt and dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or marks, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the mark. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's specific instructions carefully.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain their original shape.
