Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth and gently work it in. Allow to dry completely, then brush again.
Shoe feels uncomfortable or stiff
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The cushioning will adapt to your foot over time.
Mesh material shows signs of wear
Gently clean the mesh with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive scrubbing. Ensure the shoes are not constantly exposed to excessive friction.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can sometimes occur with new suede. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially. If significant transfer persists after initial wear, consider using a suede sealant spray designed for footwear.
