Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, working in small circles. Allow to dry completely before brushing again.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try wearing the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if insoles might be needed.
Laces become worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard athletic shoe laces of a similar length and color. Many retailers offer replacement laces for athletic footwear.
Sole shows signs of wear
Inspect the sole regularly. For minor wear, there may be limited options, but for significant degradation, consult a shoe repair specialist for potential resoling, though this may not always be feasible for performance shoe designs.
