It is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and stains.
Suede is generally not suitable for wet conditions. Exposure to rain or heavy moisture can stain or damage the material. If they do get wet, follow the drying instructions in the 'Care' section.
Hairy suede refers to a type of suede leather where the nap (the raised fibers) is intentionally longer and less uniform, giving it a more textured, shaggy, or 'hairy' appearance compared to traditional smooth suede.
Generally, adidas sneakers tend to run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart or try them on if possible.
The collaboration with LA-based creative collective Brain Dead brings a unique artistic vision and textural focus to the classic Forest Hills silhouette, offering an exclusive and distinct design that stands out from standard releases.
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristle suede brush. Brush in one direction first, then against the nap, and finally in the original direction to restore the texture.
Allow the shoes to dry completely. Once dry, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the spot, then brush the area to restore the nap. For persistent spots, consider a professional suede cleaning kit.
Remove insoles if possible and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. If slightly tight, wear thin socks or use a shoe stretcher. If slightly loose, try thicker socks or add a comfortable insole for a snugger fit. Consult a sizing guide if uncertainty persists.
These sneakers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with standard footwear accessories such as laces and inserts. Care for Suede Material: To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede Forest Hills, follow these care instructions: 1. Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product. 2. Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently brush away debris in one direction. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede eraser. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the suede. 3. Deep Cleaning (if necessary): For stubborn stains, a professional suede cleaner or a dedicated suede cleaning kit is recommended. Follow product instructions carefully. 4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Never put suede shoes in a dryer. 5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to prevent scuffing the hairy suede.
