Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser.

White accents getting dirty

Use a damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaner (ensure it's safe for contrasting materials) to gently wipe the white areas. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous spot first.

Shoe loses its shape

Insert shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape of the sneaker.

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) under the insole or check for any loose components.
