Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Shoes feel too tight.

Wear them with thin socks initially and walk around indoors. Suede can stretch slightly over time. If they remain uncomfortable, consider professional stretching services or ensure you have the correct size.

Gum sole is scuffed.

Minor scuffs on the gum sole can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. Be careful not to scrub too hard to avoid damaging the sole.
