Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions.

Leather creasing excessively

Normal creasing is expected with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Color transfer from faux horsehair

While unlikely with proper care, if color transfer occurs, gently clean the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials.

Outsole scuff marks

Minor scuffs on translucent outsoles can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can be used with extreme caution on a small, inconspicuous area first.
