Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or consult specialized suede cleaning products. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
This is normal for new leather and canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Waxed canvas losing its finish.
Reapply a wax-based conditioner specifically designed for waxed canvas or footwear if the water-repellent properties diminish. Follow product instructions carefully.
Laces are fraying.
Replace the laces with a similar style and length. Standard shoelaces can be used as replacements.
