How do I clean my suede PUMA Speedcat Ballet shoes?

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these suede shoes in the rain or wet conditions, as suede is prone to water damage and staining. Applying a protective spray before wear can offer some resistance, but it's best to avoid wet environments.
Do PUMA Speedcat Ballet shoes run true to size?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher grime, a suede eraser can be used. Always brush in one direction to restore the nap.
Shoes feel stiff or slightly tight initially.
Suede will naturally stretch and conform to your foot with wear. Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in gradually. You can also use a shoe stretcher specifically designed for suede if needed, but do so carefully.
Suede has water stains.
If the stain is fresh, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried water stains, lightly dampen the entire affected area with a spray bottle of clean water, then blot with a clean cloth and let air dry naturally. Brush with a suede brush once dry to restore texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Outfit Compatibility
These shoes are designed for versatility and pair well with a wide range of casual and semi-casual outfits. Consider them for:
- Casual Daytime: Pair with skinny jeans, capris, or denim shorts and a simple top.
- Summer Chic: Complement sundresses, maxi skirts, or tailored shorts for a light and elegant look.
- Transitional Wear: Ideal for spring and autumn, offering comfort and style with light jackets or cardigans.
Avoid pairing with formal attire or heavy winter clothing, as their light silhouette is best suited for warmer seasons and casual settings.
Care Instructions
Maintaining the soft suede upper is key to prolonging the life and appearance of your PUMA Speedcat Ballet shoes. Follow these steps for optimal care:
- Protect Before First Wear: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Repeat this application periodically as per the product instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution following the product's instructions. Avoid excessive rubbing, which can damage the suede.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
