Care Instructions for Suede

Caring for your suede PUMA Speedcat Ballet shoes is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity.

1. Pre-Treatment: Before first wear, it's highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Follow the product instructions carefully. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray manufacturer.
2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used to rub away marks.
3. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner or distilled water and gently blot the stain. Do not rub aggressively, as this can damage the suede. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
4. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, blot excess water with a clean towel and let them air dry completely, stuffing them with paper to help maintain their shape.
5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper to help them retain their shape.

General Tips

• Always clean your shoes promptly after they get dirty.
• Never use harsh chemicals or detergents on suede.
• Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
