Material influence:

• Synthetic material/ordinary leather: If the upper lacks breathable design (such as mesh, air holes), it is easy to get stuffy feet in summer.
• Use “breathable insoles” with antibacterial coating, and match them with moisture-absorbing quick-drying socks.
• Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes for many consecutive days, and place them in a ventilated place to dry; in high temperature environments, you can use “bamboo charcoal dehumidification bags” to absorb moisture.

​Leather type:
​Glossy leather: relatively resistant to drying, but needs to be regularly maintained with “wax-containing care cream” (such as Saphir Médaille d’Or).
​Oil-tanned leather/crazy horse leather: has its own oil and is more resistant to drying than ordinary leather.
​
Protective measures:
Wipe with “leather moisturizer” (such as COLUMBUS mink oil) every month to replenish oil; in extremely dry areas, “leather waterproof spray” can be added to reduce moisture loss.
​
Environmental management:
When storing, place a “constant humidity box” in the shoe cabinet (humidity maintained at 40%-60%) to avoid direct contact with heating or sunlight.

Under daily wear, high-quality leather shoes can maintain their shape for 3-5 years if properly maintained; sports shoes usually need to be replaced every 1-2 years due to the degradation of the midsole material.

First, wear the new shoes for a short period of time (2-3 hours) to adapt to the wear, and then gradually extend the usage time to observe whether the arch support is sufficient.

Daily cleaning:
​Dry brush pretreatment: Use a “suede-specific rubber brush” to brush against the bristles to remove loose dust.
​Local decontamination: Apply “suede foam cleaner” (such as Jason Markk) and treat the stains in a circular motion to avoid excessive wetting.

​Deep cleaning: Use a “suede cleaning eraser” to gently wipe stubborn stains, or send to a professional care store for “supercritical CO₂ cleaning”.

​Waterproof maintenance:
After cleaning, spray “fluorine-containing waterproof spray” (such as Nikwax Suede Proof) evenly at a distance of 20cm and let it stand for 24 hours to activate the DWR coating.

​Repair tips:
Use a “suede restoration brush” to comb along the texture of the pile; use “suede color repair spray” to repair faded areas locally.
