Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Stuff the shoes with shoe trees or plain paper when not in use to help maintain their original shape. Ensure proper storage away from excessive weight.
