Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to restore moisture and suppleness. Gently brush suede areas with a suede brush.
Gum sole shows scuff marks
Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water to gently clean the rubber. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.
T-toe suede is dirty or matted
