FAQs

What is the Desert Trek made of?

The Desert Trek features butter-soft suede uppers and a natural crepe sole.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for stains. A specialized suede cleaner can be used for tougher marks. Always allow to air dry.

Is the crepe sole durable?

The crepe sole offers flexibility and comfort but is best suited for casual wear and can be prone to marking. It should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. Using a suede protector spray can offer some protection.

What kind of outfits do these shoes go well with?

They are ideal for casual wear and pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and other casual trousers.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

Yes, like many suede shoes, they may require a short break-in period to mold to your foot for maximum comfort.

What is the primary benefit of the Desert Trek?

Its primary benefit is its timeless, versatile design combined with the comfort of soft suede and a flexible crepe sole, making it suitable for everyday casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry.

Crepe sole is marked or looks dirty.

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For deeper marks, a mild soap solution may be used cautiously, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. If discomfort persists, ensure the correct size was selected. Suede can stretch slightly over time.

Water spots on suede.

Once dry, attempt to gently brush the area with a suede brush. If marks remain, a suede cleaner may be necessary. Pre-treating with a protector spray helps prevent this.

Care:
