Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, following product instructions. Allow to dry naturally and brush to restore nap.
Gum sole is sticky or dirty
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and let air dry.
Shoe feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and retain shape. Avoid direct heat sources.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild detergent.
