Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the XC-72 features suede overlays, it is essential to keep the shoes dry. If they become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. For routine maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede without damaging the nap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water. To maintain the aesthetic of the leather N branding, wipe it down periodically with a slightly damp cloth to prevent dust accumulation.
