Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For persistent stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, rub gently, and allow to air dry. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Suede shoes will often stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially, or use thick socks around the house to help them mold to your feet.
Gum sole is dirty
Use a damp cloth or a non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the gum sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
Water spots on suede
Once dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush. If water marks persist, lightly dampen the entire shoe with a fine mist of water and allow to air dry naturally to create a more uniform appearance, then brush.
