Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For persistent stains, use a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry.
Leather elements look dull.
Wipe the leather parts with a damp cloth. A leather conditioner can be applied to restore shine and suppleness.
Shoe feels slightly tight.
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Thinner socks can also help initially. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Color transfer from suede to socks.
This can occur with new suede items, especially when wet. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider wearing darker socks until any excess dye has been removed through normal wear or a specific suede treatment.
