Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Leather heel tab or star shows scuffs
For minor scuffs on leather, use a leather conditioner or a mild leather cleaner. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.
