FAQs

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat sources.

Can I replace the insole with my own?

Yes, the Dijker 03.03 features a removable leather insole, allowing you to easily insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the suede can be treated with waterproofing spray, suede is generally not ideal for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions.

What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?

These low shoes pair well with no-show socks for a seamless look, or thin dress socks that complement the shoe's material and color for a more traditional approach.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, to protect the suede and help maintain their shape.

What does 'perforated' mean in relation to the suede?

Perforated means small holes have been punched through the suede material. This design enhances airflow and breathability.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of rubber, designed for durability and providing light traction.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If necessary, remove the leather insole and replace it with a preferred orthotic or a cushioned insert for added comfort.

Suede has water stains

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and blend the stain. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner. Future protection with a waterproofing spray is recommended.

Outsole grip seems reduced

Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean with a brush. If the tread is significantly worn, consider professional sole repair or replacement if feasible.
