Troubleshooting
Minor scuffs on leather or Durabuck
Gently buff with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher scuffs, use a specialized leather or shoe cleaner and apply sparingly.
Dirt trapped in textured areas
Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to carefully dislodge dirt from seams and textured surfaces.
Suede losing its texture
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Brush in one direction consistently.
Faint odors inside the shoe
Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and the shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. Baking soda can also be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Color transfer from overlays
This is a possibility with vibrant dyes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet. If transfer occurs, clean the affected material gently with an appropriate cleaner.
