Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Gum sole is scuffed or dirty
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously. Ensure the sole is dry after cleaning.
Shoe feels stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede and leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thick socks during the break-in period.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with a similar style or color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild detergent and air drying.
