How to clean SLANT suede and mesh sneakers
To clean NoStrain SLANT sneakers, brush off loose dirt, clean the mesh with a soft brush and detergent solution, dry-brush the suede without water, wash the removable insole separately and scrub the rubberised sole with water and detergent. Air-dry every part and put the insole back only once it is fully dry.
What your SLANT sneakers are made of
- Upper: suede and mesh
- Outsole: rubberised TPR
- Insole: removable
SLANT mixes suede panels with a mesh base. Mesh can take a mild detergent, but water marks suede, so the two are cleaned in different ways. You can see the full range in our sneakers for men collection.
Step-by-step cleaning
- Remove loose dust and dirt with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- Clean the mesh upper gently with a soft brush and detergent solution.
- Clean the suede gently with a soft, dry brush. Avoid water on the suede.
- Remove the insole and clean it separately with a soft brush and mild detergent solution.
- Clean the rubberised sole with water and detergent, using a soft brush if needed.
- Air-dry all parts naturally, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, and put the insole back once it is completely dry.
What to avoid
- Water on the suede panels
- Direct sunlight and excessive heat while drying
- Putting the insole back before it is fully dry
