Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry.
Shoes got wet.
Gently pat the shoes with a dry cloth to absorb excess moisture. Stuff with paper or shoe trees and allow to air dry completely away from heat sources. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture.
