Use a very sharp craft knife or precision scissors. Ensure the shoe is placed on a stable, protected surface. Take your time and cut slowly and deliberately.
Material scuffs easily
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and using a suede brush on Durabuck areas can help maintain appearance. Consider using protective sneaker sprays designed for leather and suede.
