How to Care for Your Musto Suede, Synthetic & Mixed Fabric Footwear
For the best care of your shoes, we recommend using Granger’s Products, although many other options are available. Always refer to the care label on your footwear for specific instructions.
Cleaning
- Remove any loose dirt, sand, or dust, and take off the shoe laces.
- Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean your shoes. For suede shoes, use a dry brush instead. Steam from an iron or kettle can help loosen stubborn stains on suede.
- If water alone is not effective and soap is needed, use a special footwear cleaner. We recommend Granger’s Footwear Cleaner for leather, suede, and synthetic shoes.
Proofing
- Musto footwear is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, which prevents the material from becoming saturated with water. Over time, this treatment can wear off due to wear and tear, salt, dirt, and water. It is important to protect and reproof your shoes and boots to maintain their performance. We suggest using Granger’s Footwear Proofer, though there are other options available.
- Ensure your shoes are clean before applying any proofer.
- Spray the proofer product directly onto the shoe from the recommended distance.
- Remove any excess product with a clean, dry cloth.
