FAQs

How do I clean black suede shoes?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning and a suede brush to maintain the texture. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While suede offers some protection when treated, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they do get wet, dry them naturally away from heat and brush to restore the nap.

What is the difference between suede and nubuck?

Both are types of leather with a napped finish. Suede is made from the inner side of the hide, creating a softer nap, while nubuck is made from the outer side, resulting in a more durable and finer nap. These shoes feature a suede exterior and a nubuck inner sole.

How should I store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect the suede from dust and potential damage.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The product description indicates a regular fit, suggesting they run true to size for most wearers. It is always recommended to consult size guides or try them on if possible.

What does 'chunky cupsole' mean?

A cupsole is a type of shoe construction where the sole is molded and stitched or cemented around the upper, creating a 'cup' shape. A 'chunky' cupsole refers to a thicker, more substantial version of this sole, offering enhanced durability and a modern look.

Troubleshooting

Suede losing its texture

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner.

Shoes feel stiff after drying

Gently flex the shoes and brush the suede to soften it. Avoid direct heat sources for drying.

Water marks appearing

Ensure suede protector is applied regularly. Lightly brush the affected area; for significant marks, professional cleaning might be necessary.
