Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized suede brush or a pencil eraser to gently lift stains without damaging the nap.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Midsole discolouration
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to spot clean the off-white midsole; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
