Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry completely. Consider a suede cleaner for stubborn marks.
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the sole is completely dry before use.
