FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
Suede is naturally porous and not waterproof. It is highly recommended to use a protective spray to make the material water-repellent.
How do I choose the right size?
The HOLLIE series fits true to standard adult sizing. Refer to the size guide if you are between sizes or have wider feet.
Can I wear these in the winter?
They are best suited for dry, cool weather. We do not recommend wearing them in heavy rain or deep snow as moisture can damage the suede.
How often should I brush the suede?
It is good practice to give them a quick brush after every few wears to remove dust and maintain the texture.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
They are designed for daily wear and general walking, though they are not specialized athletic shoes and may lack specific arch support for marathon walking.
What is the best way to store them?
Keep them in a dust bag or a cool, dry closet to protect the suede from dust and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede brush and gently rub in one direction to lift the dirt.
Stains or water marks
Use a suede eraser to gently buff away localized marks before re-brushing.
Shoe feels slightly tight
Suede will naturally soften and expand slightly with wear; wear them for short durations indoors to break them in gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against dust and light moisture. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap of the material. Avoid using water or standard leather soaps, as these can permanently stain or damage the suede fibers. Store your HOLLIE shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If they become wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to help them retain their shape while air drying at room temperature—never use artificial heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the material to crack or stiffen.
