Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
Mesh upper feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh is clean and free from debris. Gentle cleaning with mild soap and water can help restore airflow.
Soles are slippery
Clean the rubber soles thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or grime that might be reducing traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.
Discomfort or rubbing at the heel
Ensure the laces are properly tied to secure the foot without being too tight. Consider wearing thicker socks or using heel grips if the issue persists.
