Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the texture. For persistent dirt, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather shows scuff marks
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or cleaner. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be necessary.

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
