Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with new ones of similar material and length. Consider wax-coated laces for increased durability.
Suede material looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove embedded debris. Ensure the surface you are walking on is dry.
