Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher dirt, a suede eraser can be effective. Ensure the suede is completely dry before brushing.
Gum outsole is sticky or losing grip
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before use to regain optimal traction. Avoid exposure to excessive heat.
Nylon upper shows scuffs
Gently wipe the scuffed area with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper marks, avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage the material.
Discoloration on leather Swoosh
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
