Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

Yellow accents are scuffed

Carefully clean the affected areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the underlying material.

Traction feels reduced
