For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and avoid getting the suede wet.
What is the difference between the split outsole patterns?

Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather or suede
Minor creasing is natural with wear. For significant creases, use a shoe tree to help maintain shape when not in use. Avoid over-stuffing.
Traction seems less effective after wear
Clean the split outsole patterns with a brush or damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and restore grip.
Discoloration on the light-colored materials
Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with dark, abrasive materials. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for leather and suede.
