Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of suede cleaner as directed by the product instructions.
Unpleasant odor develops.
Remove insoles and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).
Squeaking sound when walking.
First, check if the insoles are properly seated. If the squeak persists, it might be due to friction between shoe components; sometimes applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help.
