The Oliver Sweeney Amesbury are ideal for smart-casual occasions, such as business-casual workplaces, dinners, weekend outings, and events where a relaxed yet polished look is desired.
How should I clean my suede shoes?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and to maintain the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always protect suede with a suitable spray and avoid water.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture or appearance
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For minor scuffs, a suede eraser can be used.
Water stains on the suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the stain. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Sole becoming detached
This indicates a potential manufacturing defect or significant wear. Contact customer support or a cobbler for repair options.
Discomfort or poor fit
Ensure the shoes are the correct size. If they are new, allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider insoles or consult a shoe fitting specialist.
