Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture. Consider reapplying a water-repellent spray.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water, or machine wash on a gentle cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
