Care Instructions

1. Brush the suede overlays after each wear using a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust, light marks, and scuffs always brush in the direction of the suede nap to maintain the smooth, consistent surface texture and prevent the suede from appearing matted or uneven
2. Use a suede eraser to gently lift stubborn marks, stains, and scuffs from the suede panels, work carefully and precisely without applying excessive pressure that could damage the suede surface
3. Apply a suede protector spray after cleaning and periodically between wears to create a water-resistant barrier on the suede surface that protects against rain, humidity, and everyday staining during outdoor wear
4. Clean the grey textile mid-panel with a soft damp cloth and mild soap using gentle circular motions, avoid soaking the textile section and allow to air dry completely before wearing again
5. Wipe the white midsole with a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution or a magic eraser to remove yellowing, scuffs, and surface dirt that accumulate on white midsoles during regular wear
6. Clean the gum outsole with a stiff brush and warm soapy water to remove dirt and debris from the waffle tread pattern periodically
7. Store in the original Vans box when not in use to protect the suede surface, maintain the shape of the sneaker, and keep the shoe free from dust and environmental exposure between wears
