Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow them to mold to your feet. The suede and cushioned insole will soften with use.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be affecting traction.
