Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them, ensuring even pressure across the foot. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Color transfer from suede
This can occur when suede is wet. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing. If transfer to socks occurs, try using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
