Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains, consult a professional suede cleaner or use a specialized suede eraser.
Shoe feels stiff initially
This is common with high-quality leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your foot's shape.
Scuff marks on rubber sole
Use a damp cloth or a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for rubber to wipe away scuff marks. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser may be used carefully.
