FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance walking?
While they are comfortable for daily city walking and commuting, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance walking shoes.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaning kit, avoiding excessive water.
Do I need to break them in?
As with most quality suede footwear, the shoes may feel snug initially. They will naturally soften and mold to the shape of your foot with regular wear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can cause permanent damage to the suede material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Only use manual cleaning methods.
Are these true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather/suede, they are designed to fit securely.
Troubleshooting
Water stains on the suede
Gently blot the area with a damp cloth or specialized suede cleaner and allow to air dry completely, then brush the nap to restore its texture.
Stiffening of the material
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the fibers and restore softness.
Difficulty putting on shoes
Loosen the laces fully from the eyelets before inserting your foot to prevent crushing the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first wear, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray to create a barrier against dust and light moisture. For general care, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt or dried mud; moving the brush in one direction helps maintain the texture of the material. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to harden or crack. For the laces, you may swap them out to change the contrast or replace them if they become worn over time. When not in use, store your Daze Runners in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help retain their shape.
