Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole is stained or marked
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For scuff marks, a magic eraser or a small amount of non-gel toothpaste applied with a cloth can sometimes help lift marks.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit remains uncomfortable after adjustment, consider the specific size and width.
