Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or cleaner.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. The shoes feature a regular fit; if discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually during short periods.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The gum rubber outsole provides good traction, but ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. Wipe down with a damp cloth if necessary.

Fading color on suede

This can occur with extended exposure to direct sunlight. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Consider using a UV protective spray designed for suede if frequently exposed.

Care

Suede Cleaning & Maintenance:

  • Brush Regularly: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Spot Clean: For small marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Dab, do not rub, to avoid damaging the suede.
  • Protect from Moisture: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and reapply periodically.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight/Heat: Do not dry suede shoes in direct sunlight or with artificial heat sources, as this can cause fading or cracking.
  • Store Properly: Keep them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
  • Deep Cleaning: For significant stains or dirt, consider professional suede cleaning services.
