- Cleaning: For leather models, use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt. For suede versions, use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and maintain the nap.

- Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for your shoe's material before initial wear to guard against scuffs and spills.
