Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration or stains

Address fresh stains immediately with a suede eraser or brush. For persistent stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Creasing in the upper

Some creasing is natural with suede and wear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage to help maintain the shoe's shape.

Reduced grip on the outsole

The rubber outsole can lose grip over time with wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn or frayed laces with new ones that match the original style or color for a refreshed look.
