Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thin socks initially and use a shoe tree or expander if necessary. Most suede shoes will stretch slightly with wear.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides optimal grip on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, exercise caution as traction may be compromised. Ensure the sole is clean from debris.

Suede looks scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For persistent marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product directions.
