Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Suede can sometimes stretch slightly with wear. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also improve comfort. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers.
Sole showing signs of wear
Regular cleaning of the sole can help maintain its appearance. For significant wear, consider visiting a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement, though this may be limited by the shoe's construction.
Color transfer from suede
This can happen when suede is wet or has not been properly treated. Ensure the trainers are dry before wearing. Using a suede protector spray can help prevent color transfer.
