Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are crafted from suede, proper care is essential. When you first receive them, ensure the size fits snugly but comfortably. To keep them looking fresh, avoid putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the suede and the adhesives. Instead, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt after each use. If you encounter stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a specialized rubber eraser block. To maintain shape, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
