Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Allow to air dry naturally.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thin socks. The leather lining should soften with wear.
Gum sole is dirty.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
Fading of color.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes properly when not in use.
