Troubleshooting

Suede material looks matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, consider a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Laces are worn or discolored.

Laces can be easily replaced. New laces can be purchased online or at shoe care stores.

Slight color transfer from suede to socks.

This can occur with new suede products, especially in darker colors. Ensure the suede is dry and consider a protective spray specifically for suede after initial wear. Washing socks separately for the first few wears can also help.
