Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following product instructions carefully.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the stain. Consider applying a suede protector spray after cleaning to prevent future issues.

Odors inside the shoe

Remove insoles if possible and air out the shoes. Sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight, then vacuum it out. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing.

Shell toe scuff marks

For minor scuffs on the rubber shell toe, a magic eraser or a non-abrasive cleaning wipe may be effective. Be cautious not to damage the surrounding suede.
