Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth (ensure it's barely wet) and allow to air dry completely before brushing again.
Pink accents are dirty
Wipe gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could damage the suede or other materials.
Shoes feel tight
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the suede slightly over time.
Gum sole is discolored
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Some discoloration may be normal wear over time.
