Troubleshooting

Laces become uneven or untied frequently

Re-lace the shoes, ensuring the knots are secure. Consider using a double knot for added security if preferred.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, a suede eraser can be effective. Treat stains promptly.

Discoloration on upper materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate cleaners for suede, textile, and leather components. Do not use harsh chemicals.
