Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your suede Air Force 1s stay in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent spray.
- Routine Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled suede brush after each use to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material.
- Cleaning: If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to warp or harden.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the internal shape of the trainer.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit for adult sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker athletic socks, you may find the standard sizing comfortable, but those with wider feet should consider the structural nature of the suede which offers slightly less 'stretch' than synthetic materials.
