Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, consult a specialist suede cleaner.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction, but caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris.
