Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a protector spray beforehand can help prevent this.
Discoloration of white accents
Gently wipe the affected areas with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for white materials, being careful not to transfer it to the suede.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.
