Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a shoe repair specialist. Ensure you have the correct size.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. Gently brush the affected area. For persistent stains, consult a professional cleaner experienced with suede.
Sole separation is minor
For very minor sole separation, a strong shoe adhesive designed for rubber and canvas can be carefully applied. Allow to cure fully before use. For significant separation, professional repair is recommended.
Water ingress despite MTE features
While MTE-1 offers some weather resistance, these are not fully waterproof. Ensure laces are tied tightly and consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede and canvas footwear.
