Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions, then brush once dry to restore the nap.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The suede material may require a short breaking-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
Laces become frayed or worn
The cotton laces are replaceable. Measure the length of your original laces and purchase new ones of a similar length and style to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
Outsole loses traction on certain surfaces
Periodically clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing.

Care
Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity:
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a suede brush to gently remove dust and dry mud. Brush in one direction. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using excessive water.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your Gazelles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry suede shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
