Its key win lies in its iconic design and comfortable, durable construction.

Before first wear, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions to maintain effective protection, especially in wet conditions.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction for best results to lift the fibers.
Apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain. Do not rub vigorously, as this can spread the stain or damage the suede. For tough stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
