What are the key colors of the Forum 84 Low Candy Cane?

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a specialized suede brush to clean suede. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can damage the material.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff initially
New leather shoes can take a short period to break in. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Red accents bleeding onto white material
This is uncommon but can occur if the shoe gets excessively wet. If it happens, try cleaning the affected white area immediately with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid prolonged saturation.
