Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try adding a light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole.

Discoloration on suede

Use a suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently remove marks. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on outsole

Clean the waffle pattern thoroughly with a brush or damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
