Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it dries naturally.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If slightly snug, wear them for short periods initially, allowing the materials to flex. Laces can be adjusted for a looser fit.
Gum sole is losing grip
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt or residue that might be hindering traction.
Discoloration of suede
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, consult a suede care guide for specific cleaning methods, though some fading may be permanent.
