Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a clean, dry suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
Water spots on the suede
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush the suede to restore its texture. Consider applying a suede protector for future prevention.
Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Suede shoes can take a short period to break in. Wearing them with quality socks can also help.
