Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration or staining

Use a dedicated suede eraser for light marks. For more persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede. Avoid using water or colored cleaning agents.

Loss of suede texture

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to restore its nap. Avoid excessive rubbing or using abrasive materials.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural part of wear for most sneakers. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly flexing the shoe.

Yellowing of midsole or outsole

Some yellowing can occur over time due to oxidation, especially with older rubber compounds. Storing them properly away from light can slow this process. Specialized cleaning products might offer minor improvements.

  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains. Test the spray on an inconspicuous area first.
