Care:

  1. Cleaning the Suede: Use a soft brush or a suede eraser to gently remove dirt and smudges from the suede upper. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the material.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth. Stubborn marks can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the suede and adhesives.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
