Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture. Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
The EVA midsole provides long-lasting comfort, but gradual compression is normal with heavy use. Ensure you are not using them for activities they are not designed for.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard athletic or casual laces of a similar length. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress.
