Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flattened.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction, then lightly in the opposite direction, to lift the fibers.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Allow for a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to let the suede conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, check lacing for overtightening.
Difficulty removing a stain from the suede.
For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with suede. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material.

Care Instructions
Given the suede material, proper care is crucial for longevity and appearance:
- Water Protection: Before initial wear, consider applying a reputable suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp (not wet) cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and prevent creasing.
