Troubleshooting

Suede getting wet or stained

Address stains immediately with appropriate suede cleaner. For wet shoes, stuff with paper and air dry away from heat. Use protector spray for future prevention.

Reduced comfort over time

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. Consider using insoles for added cushioning if needed for prolonged wear.

Creases in suede material

Minor creasing is natural with suede. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store properly. Shoe trees can help maintain shape.
