Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring the suede dries naturally afterward.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Midsole shows scuffs
For minor scuffs on the rubber or foam midsole, a magic eraser or a damp cloth can often remove them. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Discoloration of light-colored materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for each material type.
