Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are frayed or worn
Replace laces with a new pair of suitable length and color. Ensure they are tied securely.
Reduced grip on the sole
Check the gum rubber sole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If heavily worn, replacement may be necessary.
