Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. For persistent scuffs, a suede eraser can be helpful.
Light dirt or marks on the upper
Attempt to remove light marks with a suede eraser. For more ingrained dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions.
Gum sole looks dirty
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Ensure the shoe dries completely afterward.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occasionally happen with new suede. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or ensure the suede is properly treated and conditioned.
