Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Leather shows creases or minor scuffs.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper creases, conditioning the leather may help improve its appearance over time. Avoid over-flexing the shoe.
Mesh feels stiff or less breathable.
Ensure the mesh is clean. If it feels stiff, it may require a gentle conditioning treatment suitable for athletic mesh materials, or simply more wear to break in.
Sole shows signs of wear.
For typical daily wear, the sole is designed for durability. If significant wear occurs prematurely, inspect for any manufacturing defects. Clean the sole regularly to maintain grip.
