Troubleshooting
Suede/Nubuck texture becoming matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Brush in one direction consistently.
Laces fraying or showing wear
Replace laces with a new pair of appropriate length and color. Consider waxed laces for added durability.
Outsole grip reduced over time
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be hindering traction.
Discomfort from Torsion System or midsole
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for break-in and for your feet to adjust.
