Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Suede is stained or dirty

Use a dry suede brush for light dirt. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth or brush, following the cleaner's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Tread wear after moderate use
