Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Yellowing on midsole over time

This is a natural aging process for some materials. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can help, but significant yellowing is difficult to reverse.

Creases on the upper

Creasing is normal with wear, especially on leather and suede. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not wearing and avoid overly tight lacing.
