Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, then air dry.

Color transfer from suede

Ensure the suede is dry before wearing, especially in wet conditions. Consider using a suede protector spray (test first).
