Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks for a short period. If still tight, consider professional stretching or ensure you have selected the correct size.
Gum sole becoming sticky
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely. Avoid exposure to high heat or certain chemicals.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Stitching appears loose
If the loose stitching is minor and decorative (like on the heel), it may be purely aesthetic. For structural stitching, consult a cobbler for repair.
