Troubleshooting
Suede color appears uneven after cleaning
Allow the suede to dry completely. Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and even out the color. Repeat brushing in different directions.
Gum outsole has scuff marks
Try gently rubbing the scuff mark with a clean pencil eraser. For tougher marks, a melamine sponge (magic eraser) can be used cautiously, followed by cleaning with a damp cloth.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly over time. Consider the fit carefully when purchasing.
