Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, then brush with a suede brush to restore texture.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Try a different lacing technique or double-knotting for a more secure fit.

Discomfort after wearing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear. Consider using insoles if additional arch support is needed.

Water marks on suede

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore the texture. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water stains.
