Suede is a durable material when cared for properly. Regular cleaning and protection will help maintain its appearance and longevity. Expect some natural wear and patina over time.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe feels tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wearing them with medium-weight socks for a few hours at a time can help them mold to your feet. Avoid forcing them if they are significantly too small.
Laces are worn or dirty
Laces can be easily replaced. You can purchase standard Vans laces or any flat shoelaces of a similar length.
Outsole grip is reduced
Clean the waffle outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. If the rubber is significantly worn down, replacement may be considered by a cobbler.
