Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently brush away dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and spot test in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe shape is lost
Use shoe trees made of cedar or plastic to help maintain the shoe's original shape when not in use. Allow shoes to air out between wears.
Slightly tight fit
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider a thicker pair of socks or consult a cobbler for stretching options.
