Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
