Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 990v4 is built with premium materials, proper care is essential to extend the life of the footwear. To maintain the appearance, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt after each use. For stubborn spots, use a specialized leather or suede cleaner compatible with your specific model's material. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can compromise the adhesive and materials. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material breakdown.
