Setup:
- Lacing: Upon unboxing, choose your preferred lace style. The `satin lace` provides a *fashion* look, while the `flat ticked lace` offers a more secure and traditional sneaker fit. Simply thread the chosen laces through the eyelets to your desired tightness.
- Fit Adjustment: The lace closure allows for a customizable fit. Adjust the laces to ensure your foot is secure and comfortable, especially considering the padded tongue.
Compatibility:
The UGG Astromel Platforms are a versatile choice for various casual and smart-casual outfits. Their modern platform silhouette and mixed material upper make them suitable for pairing with:
- Casual Attire: Jeans, leggings, cargo pants, shorts.
- Dresses & Skirts: Midi skirts, flowy dresses, denim skirts for an edgy contrast.
- Seasonal Wear: Adaptable for spring, summer, and early autumn, depending on weather.
Care:
- Suede Protection: Given the suede and recycled textile upper, it's highly recommended to treat your Astromel Platforms with a protective spray suitable for suede and fabric before the first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush designed for suede to gently remove debris. For spots or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the suede. For the EVA sole, wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause suede to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
