Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Suede can stretch slightly over time, but proper initial fit is key. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occasionally happen with new suede. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially, and the issue typically diminishes with wear.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. A suede protector spray can help prevent future spotting.
