Care:
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the suede upper of your Nike Field General 82. Follow these guidelines to extend their lifespan and keep them looking their best:
- Immediate Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a suede eraser to rub away marks. For more stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner foam or solution should be used according to the product's instructions.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Water: Minimize exposure to rain, puddles, and other wet conditions, as water can stain and damage suede.
