Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to restore the nap. For matted areas, try a suede eraser.

Ensure the shoes are properly protected with a suede protector spray. Keep away from excessive moisture and light-colored socks until protection is established.
