Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher spots, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes got wet
Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede.
Color transfer from gold accents
This is rare but can occur. Ensure the gold accents are dry. If transfer happens, try cleaning the affected area with a damp cloth very gently. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Creasing on the upper
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather and suede. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing the shoes.
