Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

Suede and pony hair may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for a few hours to allow the materials to mold to your feet.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For persistent marks, consult a suede cleaning guide or product.

Buckle feels loose

Check if the buckle is properly fastened. If the strap is not holding securely, there may be an issue with the strap mechanism, though this is uncommon.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

New outsoles can sometimes have a slight initial slipperiness. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or wearing them outdoors can help improve traction.
