Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently brush the surface and restore its nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Strap feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the slingback strap to the most comfortable setting. If further adjustment is needed, consider adding a heel grip or consulting a cobbler.
Shoes are marked by water
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Waterproofing spray is recommended for prevention.
Buckle feels loose
As the buckle is decorative, if it appears loose, consult a cobbler for secure reattachment. Ensure it is not being pulled forcefully.
