Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before skating to maximize traction.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs on the leather, try buffing gently with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for leather shoes.
Tongue shifting during use
Ensure laces are tied securely, ensuring the tongue is centered before lacing up. Some skaters may benefit from lacing techniques that help keep the tongue in place.
