Troubleshooting
Suede/Nubuck appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Consider a suede eraser for stubborn marks.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For enhanced grip, check if the shoe has been exposed to oily or slippery substances.
General discomfort during wear
Ensure you have the correct size. The shoe's fit might differ from modern trainers; consider using supportive insoles if needed. Break them in with short periods of wear.
