Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles are losing grip.

Ensure the gum outsole is clean from debris. Minor wear can affect grip; for significant wear, consult a cobbler about potential sole repair or replacement if feasible.

Shoes feel too tight.

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still too tight, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a professional.

Water damage to suede.

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For significant watermarks, specialized suede cleaning products may be necessary.
