Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Color transfer onto socks or clothing
This can sometimes occur with dyed materials, especially when new or wet. Allow the shoes to air out completely. If the issue persists, consider using a fabric protector spray designed for sneakers.
Shoe loses its shape
Use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. Ensure they are stored properly in their box to maintain form.
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is a natural part of wear for most sneakers. You can minimize severe creasing by using crease protectors inside the shoe or by stuffing them with paper when not in use.
