Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn spots, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If discomfort persists, double-check your foot size against the shoe's UK 11.5 sizing. Shoe stretchers can help with minor tightness, but significant size issues may require reconsideration.
Color seems to be fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store your shoes in a cool, dark place. A suede protector spray can also help maintain color vibrancy.
Stains on suede material
Act quickly! Blot liquid stains immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions carefully.
Suede is stiff after getting wet
Once completely dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to soften the fibers and restore its texture.

Care Instructions for Suede
Maintaining the suede material is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Run Star Trainers.
- Pre-Treatment (Recommended): Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to create a barrier against stains and moisture. Always follow the spray product's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild suede cleaner. Blot, do not rub, and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains or overall grime, consider a professional suede cleaning service or a dedicated suede cleaning kit, following instructions carefully.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat (e.g., radiator, hairdryer), as this can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
