Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser for dry marks or a suede brush to lift dirt. For liquid stains, act quickly and blot gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish matching the colour may help to conceal them.
Laces are worn or frayed.
Replace laces with a similar style and length. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
