Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a cloth or brush, following the cleaner's instructions. Allow to air dry completely.

Gum sole is scuffed

For minor scuffs, try using a magic eraser gently. For more stubborn marks, a specialized sole cleaner might be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Laces are dirty

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.

Shoes feel stiff initially

This is common with new suede footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The suede will naturally soften with wear.
