Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to air dry completely before brushing.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight after a few wears, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching.
Color transfer from rose accents
This is a potential characteristic of dyed suede. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when damp. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.
Air sole feels less cushioned over time
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive impact. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.
