Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to adjust.
Ensure laces are not frayed. If they are, consider replacing them. Gently loosen the lacing pattern and re-tighten evenly for a comfortable fit.
Gum sole shows scuff marks.
Light scuffs can often be removed using a clean pencil eraser. For more persistent marks, a damp cloth with mild soap may help.
