Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dust. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser.

Laces get dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Color transfer from suede

Ensure the suede is protected with a suede protector spray. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or with light-colored socks until the color has set.
