Adjust the lacing to your preferred tightness. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying different lacing techniques for a custom fit.
Discoloration on suede or leather.
Consult specific leather and suede cleaning products. For minor scuffs, a suede eraser or leather conditioner may help. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
