How do the suede and mesh materials hold up over time?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with premium suede and leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush for light dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a different material or texture that provides better grip if the issue persists.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the sole with a brush and water. If the tread is significantly worn down, consider replacement.
