Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoelaces are worn or dirty
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Dirty laces can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried.
Sole has lost traction
Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris. If significant wear is visible, it may indicate the end of the shoe's lifespan for optimal grip.
