Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, then brush once dry.
Shoe feels too tight
Wear the shoes with thicker socks around the house to help them stretch slightly. Ensure you have the correct size; consider the sibling products for alternative sizes.
Laces are worn out
Replace laces with standard flat skate shoe laces. You can find replacements online or at shoe stores.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoe to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and blend the affected area. For significant water damage, a suede protector spray can help prevent future issues.
