Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a cloth, following product instructions, and allow to air dry away from heat.
Shoe feels too tight.
Suede shoes often need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If the tightness persists, consider using shoe trees or consulting a cobbler for stretching options.
Gum sole shows signs of wear.
Regular cleaning of the sole with a damp cloth can help maintain its appearance. For minor scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective. Significant wear may require professional assessment.
Laces become worn or dirty.
Replace laces with a similar style or color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild detergent and air drying.
