• Use Shoe Trees: Insert well-fitting shoe trees to maintain shape and extend lifespan, especially if shoes get wet. Premium suede can handle rain.
• Brush Regularly: Use a high-quality suede brush (preferably natural rubber, like Turms) to remove dirt. Use a welt brush to remove dust and dirt trapped in the crevices.
• Handle Stains Professionally: For stubborn stains (e.g., oil), consult a cobbler to treat with suede shampoo.
• Avoid Overusing Protective Sprays: Choose a natural protector; limit silicone sprays as they block leather pores and reduce breathability.
