Troubleshooting
Plush upper feels stiff or matted.
Gently brush the plush material with a soft-bristled brush to restore its texture. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents.
Dirt or stains on the plush material.
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently dab the affected area. For tougher stains, consider a specialized cleaner for suede or plush materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Tongue tags are peeling or damaged.
Handle the tongue tags with care. If minor damage occurs, consult a professional shoe repair service. Avoid excessive pulling or bending.
Slight color transfer from plush upper to socks.
This can occasionally happen with heavily dyed plush materials. Wearing darker socks or washing the shoes (if appropriate for the specific material, though spot cleaning is preferred) may help reduce this. Allow the shoes to dry completely before wear.
