Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions meticulously.

Color transfer from gold accents.

This is unlikely with proper manufacturing, but if it occurs, attempt gentle cleaning with a slightly damp cloth on the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Discomfort during wear.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break-in periods for new shoes can vary; wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
