Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Suede shows water stains
Preventative care with a suede protector spray is recommended. For existing stains, try a specialized suede cleaner or eraser, following product instructions carefully.
Grip on the outsole feels reduced
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that might be hindering grip.
Stitching on the heel appears to be unraveling
For minor unraveling, a small dab of fabric glue might secure it. For significant damage, contact customer support or a shoe repair specialist.
