Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoe to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Apply a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Color transfer to socks or other clothing

This can sometimes happen with heavily dyed suede. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. If the issue persists, consider using a color catcher sheet inside the shoe or limiting wear with light-colored socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care:

  • Suede Maintenance: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove surface dirt and dust regularly. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used gently.
