Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, followed by air drying.
Shoes feel too tight
Allow for a natural break-in period as the suede and sole will adapt to your foot shape. You can also try wearing them with thicker socks initially.
Crepe sole shows signs of wear
Clean the sole with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a gentle scrubbing with a soft brush might help. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the nap. Applying a suede protector is recommended for future prevention.
