Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Walking around indoors can help them mold to your feet.

Laces show signs of wear

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Many athletic stores offer replacement lace options.

Chrome heel counter has minor scratches

Minor scratches on chrome finishes are difficult to remove completely. For light scuffs, a very gentle polishing cloth might help, but avoid abrasive materials that could cause further damage.
