Troubleshooting

Suede color appears faded or dull.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For deeper revitalization, consider a suede cleaner specifically designed for red hues, following product instructions carefully.

Soles are dirty or have scuff marks.

Clean the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the icy blue outsole, use a magic eraser gently or a specialized sole cleaner, wiping away residue with a clean cloth.

Laces are dirty or worn.

Replace laces with new ones of a similar color or a contrasting color for a refreshed look. Laces can typically be hand-washed with mild detergent.

Shoe shape is lost.

Insert shoe trees when not in use. Stuffing the shoes with paper can also help maintain their shape during storage.

Care Instructions:

  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape and insert silica gel packets to absorb moisture if storing for extended periods.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a suede protectant spray to help repel water and stains, although test on an inconspicuous area first.
