Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the squeaking persists, try removing the insole, cleaning it, and ensuring it's fully dry before reinserting.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes, especially those with suede uppers, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight.
Suede material scuffing or staining
Address scuffs and stains immediately. Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid exposing suede to excessive moisture.
