Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions.
Color transfer from heel tab or stripes
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. If color transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected area with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
