Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a suede-specific cleaning guide or product.
Color transfer from suede to socks or other clothing
This can sometimes occur with new suede items, especially in damp conditions. Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly. Consider using a suede protectant spray, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks or insoles if needed.
