Troubleshooting

Suede color transfer onto socks or light-colored pants.

This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the shoes are fully broken in and consider using a suede protector spray. If persistent, a professional cleaning may be required.

Stiffness or discomfort during initial wear.

Suede shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Scuff marks or dirt on the suede.

Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Address stains as soon as possible.

Gum sole becoming discolored.

Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber. Ensure the soles are dried completely after cleaning.
