Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser may be necessary. Always brush in one direction for a consistent look.
Laces are difficult to tighten
Ensure the metal loop eyelets are clear of debris. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, sturdy boot laces.
Outsole loses grip
Clean the deep grooves of the gum outsole thoroughly with a brush or damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or mud that may be hindering traction.
Boots feel stiff on first wear
This is common with new suede and leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Adding thicker socks can also help.
