Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its texture and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser.

Leather creasing excessively

Normal creasing is expected with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Gum outsole is scuffed or dirty

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser can be used gently on the midsole area if applicable, but be cautious with the suede/leather.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with new ones. They can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried.
