Care Tips
To preserve the appearance and prolong the life of the premium suede upper, we recommend the following simple care routine:
- Protect the suede: Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a gentle, invisible barrier to repel water and prevent everyday stains.
- Brush regularly: Use a specialist suede brush to carefully remove dry dirt and restore the natural nap of the material. Always brush in a single direction to maintain a smooth, even finish.
- Dry naturally: If this shoe becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing the sandal near direct heat sources, such as radiators, as this can cause the suede to stiffen or lose its shape.
- Store carefully: Keep the sandal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps to maintain the rich saddle colour and keeps the materials supple for regular daily use.
