Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry and then brush the nap back into place.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow them to break in naturally. You can also try wearing them with slightly thicker socks initially to help stretch the material gently.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
