Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Gum sole has scuff marks

Gently rub scuff marks with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging the suede.

Shoe feels slightly tight

Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house with thicker socks to help them mold to your feet. Avoid exposing wet suede to heat, as this can cause shrinkage or damage.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a suede protector proactively can help prevent future water stains.
