Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser or a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather accents are scuffed.
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing the area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream designed for white or grey leather might be appropriate, but test first.
Velcro strap feels loose.
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris, as this can reduce their sticking power. Press firmly to re-engage the strap.
Shoe feels stiff initially.
New shoes, especially with suede and leather, can take some time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
