Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, apply a suede cleaner according to the product's instructions.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with standard shoe laces. Clean existing laces separately by hand washing.

Gum sole shows scuff marks

Mild scuffs can often be removed with a damp cloth or a magic eraser sponge. Be gentle to avoid damaging the sole material.
