Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution, following product instructions carefully.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. If a stain remains, a suede cleaner may be necessary.
Insole feels uncomfortable
The leather-covered insole is removable. You can air it out or replace it with a thinner, custom orthotic if needed for enhanced comfort.
Sole appears worn
The light rubber sole offers durability, but for significant wear, consult a professional cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.
