Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole has scuff marks
Try using a clean pencil eraser to gently rub away minor scuff marks from the gum rubber outsole.
Laces are 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 delicate cycle. Allow to air dry completely.
