Troubleshooting

Suede color looks uneven after brushing.

Ensure you are brushing with the grain. For persistent unevenness, a suede eraser can help lift minor marks. Some variation is natural with suede.

Shoes feel stiff initially.

This is common with new leather and suede. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to break in and mold to your foot shape.

Water spots visible on suede.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore the nap. Applying a suede protector spray regularly can prevent future spotting.
