Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Suede or denim material getting dirty

Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Consider applying a protector spray before wear.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar material and length. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can cause stress.

Sole showing signs of wear

Rotate shoes with other pairs to reduce wear on a single pair. Consider professional sole repair for significant damage if the shoe is highly valued.
