Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede eraser for dry marks or a specialized suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to dry naturally.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Suede can stretch slightly over time, but significant discomfort may indicate an incorrect fit. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to break them in.

Color transfer from suede to socks or skin.

This can occasionally happen with dyed suede, especially when new or wet. Allow the shoes to air out before wearing. If persistent, consider a color sealant spray specifically for suede.
