Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Leather scuffs or scratches
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather conditioner or a subtle shoe polish in a matching color may help.
Gum sole discoloration
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. If there are stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a mild cleaning solution can be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, then let them air dry completely before re-lacing.
