Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of these sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning:
- For the leather upper: Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner designed for sneakers.
- For the suede T-toe: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser can be used sparingly. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage leather and suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede to help protect the shoes from the elements and spills. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use for extended periods.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not wash these sneakers in a washing machine, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
