Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or consult specialized suede cleaning products. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers feel slightly tight.
Wear the trainers with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow them to naturally adapt to your foot. A shoe stretcher can also be used carefully if needed.
Soles are dirty.
Wipe the rubber soles clean with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
Water damage on suede.
Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For significant water stains, professional cleaning may be required.
