Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stubborn marks, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following the cleaner's instructions, and then brush to restore the nap.
Gum sole is discolored or dirty
Wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before storing.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with a similar style or color. They can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried if cleaning is preferred.
