Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider applying a suede protector to prevent future staining.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace rawhide laces with new ones. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress.
