Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dull.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore its original texture and vibrancy.
Water spots or light stains on the suede.
Allow the shoe to dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For more stubborn water spots, a suede eraser can be used with light pressure, followed by brushing.
Dirt or mud on the gum rubber outsole.
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush dipped in a mild soap and water solution. Avoid getting the suede wet during this process.
Slight discoloration or fading of the red suede.
While complete prevention is difficult with wear, minimize exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods during storage. Applying a suede protector can also help maintain color vibrancy over time.
