Troubleshooting
Suede texture is matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Color transfer from suede to socks or clothing.
This can occur with new suede, especially in damp conditions. Ensure the shoes are dry. You can try spraying with a suede protector (test first) or limit wear in wet weather.
Soles are dirty or scuffed.
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For midsole scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective, but use it gently to avoid damaging the material.
Shoe loses shape over time.
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their form. Avoid storing them under heavy objects.
