Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Numeric 480s last as long as possible, follow these guidelines. Upon purchase, apply a suede-specific water repellent spray to protect against light rain and dirt. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for stubborn scuffs. When lacing, ensure you do not overtighten the eyelets to maintain the structural shape of the upper. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading.
