Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Consider using a suede cleaner for more ingrained stains.
Leather parts look dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth and buff gently. This will help restore moisture and suppleness to the leather.
Soles have scuff marks
Try using a magic eraser or a non-abrasive cleaning paste with a damp cloth to gently remove scuff marks from the rubber soles.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand-wash them with a mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.
