Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff the nap of the material in one direction.

Stains on the suede surface

Use a dry suede eraser to gently rub the affected area. Avoid using excessive water or harsh detergents.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and try a double knot or a reef knot to improve friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Reebok Smash Edge sneakers, ensure you verify your size before the first wear, as suede does not stretch significantly like some synthetic materials. For care, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft brush designed for suede to gently remove surface dust and debris. If the sneakers come into contact with water, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or warp. For spot cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a light application of a suede-safe cleaning solution.
