Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Ensure the suede is completely dry before brushing.
Laces are difficult to tie evenly
Ensure laces are the correct length and material. Try a different lacing technique or ensure they are dry before tying for a secure knot.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Verify the shoe size is correct. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure socks are appropriate for cushioning.
Color transfer from suede to socks or other clothing
This can occasionally happen with new suede items. Ensure the suede is treated with a protective spray if possible, and be mindful of wearing light-colored socks until any excess dye has naturally reduced.
