Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a damp cloth, then allow to air dry.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the gum outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces.

Slight discoloration of suede

This can sometimes occur with natural materials. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
