Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
White accents are smudged
Use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe the white areas. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser may be used very cautiously on the rubber parts, avoiding the suede.
Water damage on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For significant saturation, professional cleaning might be necessary.
