Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For persistent stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully and testing on a small area first.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. Minor wear is normal, but significant loss of tread may indicate the need for replacement.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify you have the correct size. Ensure laces are tied appropriately without being too tight. Consider using alternative insoles for added cushioning if needed.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occur with new suede items. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially until any excess dye has been released. Proper suede care can help minimize this.
