Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional suede cleaner. Avoid water.
Laces are worn or dirty
Remove laces and hand-wash them with mild soap and water. Air dry completely before re-lacing.
Gum sole is losing grip
Ensure the sole is clean from debris. The textured tread is designed for grip; if significant wear is observed, it may indicate extensive use.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. If the shoe is fundamentally too small or large, consider if a different size is needed, referring to size charts.
