Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Suede and mesh may stretch slightly with wear, but consider thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks if the fit is too loose.
Inconsistent color in suede
This can sometimes occur with suede. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, then try brushing the affected area evenly.
