Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with a new pair of standard shoelaces. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from excessive mud or debris. For persistent slipperiness on smooth surfaces, consider adding grip enhancers specifically designed for shoe soles.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker or thinner socks as needed.
