Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The soft suede will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Applying a suede protector can help prevent future water marks.
