Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or stained

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions precisely. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size. Lacing techniques can also adjust fit; tighten or loosen laces in specific areas as needed. Consider using thicker or thinner socks.

Mesh material looks dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. For minor marks, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can sometimes occur with new suede. It is often reduced after initial wear and cleaning. Ensure the suede is dry before wear. If persistent, consider professional treatment.
