Care & Maintenance
Given the premium hairy suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain the sneaker's appearance and longevity.
Before First Wear:
- Suede Protector: It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. Follow the product's instructions carefully, ensuring even coverage and adequate drying time.
Regular Cleaning:
- Brushing: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt, dust, and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to maintain consistency.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser (often included with suede cleaning kits) and gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a suede cleaning solution specifically designed for the material. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth, gently dab the stain, and then use a damp cloth to remove excess cleaner. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
General Tips:
- Avoid Water Saturation: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and air dry naturally.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can fade the color. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, machine washing, or tumble drying, as these can permanently damage the suede.
