Tower London Apache Shoes - Black Suede - Size UK 3

Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier, making the suede more resistant to moisture, though not fully waterproof.

It is strongly advised to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain and damage suede, affecting its appearance and texture. If they do get wet, follow the drying instructions in the care section.

A crepe sole is made from natural, unprocessed rubber. It's known for its softness, flexibility, and cushioning properties, providing comfort and good grip. Its distinctive slightly sticky texture can sometimes attract dust.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees helps maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a shoe bag or original box to protect from dust.

The soft suede material of the Apache Shoes allows for some natural give and adaptation over time. While not specifically designed for wide fit, many find suede shoes comfortable as they mold to the foot with wear.

Regular light brushing after each wear helps remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning or stain removal, address issues as they arise. Applying protector spray every few months, or more frequently if worn often, is also recommended.

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush in multiple directions to lift and restore the nap. Finish by brushing in a single direction.

Suede can take a short period to break in. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher designed for suede, or consulting a cobbler.

The natural texture of crepe can pick up particles. Use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe the sole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, ensuring it doesn't contact the suede upper.

Use a suede eraser to gently buff away scuffs and restore the texture. For more prominent marks, a very fine-grit sandpaper (like 400-600 grit) can be used *very carefully* to re-texture the area, followed by brushing.
