Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Crepe sole is attracting dirt
Wipe the crepe sole with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a soft brush or a mild soap solution can be used carefully, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are dry before storing.
Laces are worn or dirty
The waxy laces can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. If they are significantly damaged, they can be replaced with similar waxy laces from a shoe care specialist.
Shoe feels slightly stiff initially
This is normal for new suede. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
