FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While suede is naturally durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede protector spray to increase water resistance.
How should I store my MARIO shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape over time.
Can I use leather polish on these shoes?
No, leather polish is designed for smooth leathers and will ruin the texture of suede. Only use suede-specific care products.
Are these true to size?
The MARIO series generally follows standard sizing; however, individual fit can vary. Refer to the size guide if you are between sizes.
What is the best way to clean deep stains?
For deep stains, it is best to consult a professional cobbler or use a dedicated suede shampoo according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the surface
Use a specialized suede brush to gently stroke the material in one direction to dislodge debris.
Water spots or minor stains
Use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with minimal water to dab the affected area; allow to dry and brush again to restore the texture.
Loss of texture (nap) over time
Hold the shoe carefully over steam for a few seconds and then use a suede brush to revitalize the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your MARIO shoes last, it is essential to treat them with a suede-specific protective spray before their first wear. This creates a barrier against water and minor stains. For routine maintenance, use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the natural oils from the material.
