Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water saturation.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try lacing them differently. Suede may stretch slightly with wear. If persistent, consider if the size is correct or if insoles are affecting fit.
Gum sole is dirty
Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a mild soap solution can be used carefully.
