Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear them around the house for a short period to break them in. Thinner socks may also help initially.

Scuffs or dirt on the suede material.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used with care, followed by brushing to restore the nap.

Discoloration on the canvas.

Attempt to clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the shoe's structure and materials.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Laces can be easily replaced. They can also be hand-washed separately.
