Care tips

Cleaning

• Brush regularly: Use a dedicated soft suede brush to gently lift the nap (the raised surface of the suede) and remove everyday dust or dirt. Always brush in a single direction.

• Remove marks: For dry scuffs or light stains, gently rub the affected area with a specialist suede eraser.

Maintenance

• Apply a protector: Before wearing them for the first time, treat the suede upper with a high-quality waterproofing and stain-protector spray. Hold the spray roughly 20 cm away and apply an even coat.

• Reapply seasonally: To maintain an effective barrier against moisture and street dirt, reapply your protector spray every few months, depending on how frequently you wear the shoe.
