Troubleshooting
Color transfer from suede
This can occur if the suede gets wet or rubs against lighter materials. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first). Avoid wearing with light-colored socks if color transfer is a concern.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather and suede. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid overly tight lacing which can exacerbate creasing.
