Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for light marks. For deeper stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn or dirty
Clean laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with new laces of a similar length and color.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.
Shoes lose shape when stored
Use shoe trees made of cedar or plastic to help maintain the original shape of the shoes when not in use.
