Troubleshooting

Suede color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store shoes in a dark place and use a suede protector spray.

Scuffs or stains on suede

Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft cloth, testing in a hidden area first. Allow to air dry naturally.

Shoe losing shape

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original form and prevent creasing.
