Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or scuffed

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used gently.

Canvas sections have stains

Spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe away residue with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Sole is discolored or has marks

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth, mild soap, and a brush. A magic eraser can be effective for scuffs on white rubber.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.

Care Instructions:
