Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product.
Mesh areas are smudged
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the mesh.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Suede and mesh can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If discomfort persists, consider professional stretching services.
Color transfer from socks
Ensure socks are colorfast, especially new ones. If color transfer occurs on the shoe's interior, try wiping with a damp cloth (test in an inconspicuous area first).
