Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the texture and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal with leather footwear. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight.
Color transfer from suede
Ensure the suede is properly treated or protected, especially in damp conditions. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until you are confident about colorfastness.
