Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring to let it air dry completely.
White leather accents are scuffed
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner might be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Gum sole is stained
Try cleaning the gum sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For persistent stains, a magic eraser can be used carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Suede and leather can stretch slightly over time, but for immediate comfort, consider using shoe trees or professional stretching services.
