Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a Dr. Martens Suede Brush to gently brush the surface and restore the nap. For more persistent dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions.

Water spots or stains on the suede

Allow the affected area to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush. If a stain remains, a suede cleaner may be necessary. Reapply suede protector after cleaning.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Yellow welt stitch is snagged or damaged

The Goodyear welt stitch is designed for durability. Minor snags can sometimes be tidied with careful attention. For significant damage, consult a cobbler specializing in Dr. Martens repair.
