Is this sneaker suitable for running or athletic performance?

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration after cleaning

Ensure you are using products specifically designed for suede and follow instructions carefully. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

The cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. To maximize longevity, avoid using the sneakers for high-impact sports and follow recommended care instructions.

Fraying of mesh or stitching

Gently trim any loose threads with scissors. If the fraying is significant, professional repair may be needed.

Poor traction on wet surfaces

While the outsole provides grip, be cautious on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris for optimal traction.
