Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel too tight after lacing.
Loosen the laces slightly, particularly around the mid-foot area, and then re-tighten to a comfortable level. Ensure the laces are threaded evenly.
Discoloration from water exposure.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. If significant staining occurs, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
