Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Water marks on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, attempt to brush out the marks. For persistent marks, consider professional suede cleaning.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a similar style or material. Balmain may offer replacement laces or recommend a specific type.
Sole becoming detached
If the sole shows signs of detachment, cease wearing the shoes and consult a cobbler or Balmain customer service for repair options.
