For suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly with a clean cloth is recommended. Avoid excessive water.

Remove insoles and allow them and the shoes to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Consider using moisture-absorbing inserts or rotating between pairs of shoes.
