How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for tougher marks. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

What is the material of the upper?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Creasing in the toe box

This is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid flexing the shoe excessively when not worn and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Discoloration from water exposure

Avoid getting suede wet. If water contact occurs, blot immediately with a dry cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Suede dye may bleed if significantly wet.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Ensure laces are dry and consider double-knotting them for a more secure fit.
