Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For persistent dirt, use a suede cleaner sparingly, following product instructions.
Printed pattern fading or cracking
Avoid harsh cleaning methods and excessive flexing. Store properly when not in use. Light fading over time is a natural part of the 'aged' aesthetic.
General dirt on leather or mesh areas
Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet to prevent material damage.
Unusual smell inside the shoe
Allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also use odor-absorbing inserts or baking soda (placed inside overnight, then removed) to help neutralize odors.
