Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Suede shoes often stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Color transfer onto socks
This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored suede. It should reduce after initial wears. Consider wearing darker socks initially.
Gum sole scuffs easily
Gum soles can be prone to scuffing. Use a magic eraser gently on the affected area for minor marks.
