Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Brush in one direction for best results.

Stains on suede material

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and eraser, following the product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across your foot to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Allow a short break-in period for the suede to conform to your foot.

Care

The suede upper requires careful maintenance to preserve its appearance.

  1. Cleaning: For dust and light dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush the surface in one direction. For tougher spots or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture. This helps repel water and stains.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
