Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to new materials settling. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the noise persists, try a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes, especially those with unique construction like the 9060, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size.
Suede appearing dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Protect suede with a water and stain repellent spray.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar type and length. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause unnecessary stress.
