Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush. If marks persist, a suede cleaner may be necessary.
Color transfer from suede
This can happen with new suede. Ensure socks are colorfast. If significant transfer occurs, a suede sealant might help, but test first.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
