Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.

Suede has water spots

Allow the shoes to dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. If marks persist, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary, applied sparingly.

Zippers are stiff

Gently work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Soles feel slippery

New rubber soles can sometimes have a break-in period. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface can improve grip. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.
