Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Gum sole is scuffed

Wipe with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a mild cleaning solution or a magic eraser may be carefully used on the sole only.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear the shoes around the house with thin socks to allow them to naturally stretch and conform to your feet. Avoid wearing them outside until they feel comfortable.

Care:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a suede eraser to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid over-wetting the suede. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  • Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can often be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and moisture.
