Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, use a suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Gum sole is discolored
Try cleaning the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace the laces with new ones. You can also remove them and wash them by hand with mild detergent.
