Troubleshooting

Suede getting dirty easily

Apply a suede protectant spray before wear. Clean spills immediately with a dry cloth or suede eraser. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Soles losing grip

Ensure the waffle outsole is free from debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Excessive wear may require replacement by a professional cobbler.

Discoloration of suede

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store in a dark, cool place. Use suede cleaners designed for color restoration if needed.
