Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to protect the material.
Shoes feel less supportive over time.
This can be a sign of midsole wear. While the ENCAP midsole is durable, continuous heavy use will eventually reduce its cushioning properties. Consider the shoe's age and mileage. Info needed: If new, ensure lacing provides adequate foot lockdown.
Unpleasant odor from inside the shoe.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove the synthetic suede sockliner (if removable) to air separately. Use foot powder or shoe deodorizers to manage moisture and odor. Ensure socks are changed regularly.
Rubber outsole losing grip.
Check the outsole for wear patterns. Excessive wear on the tread can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that might impede traction. If tread is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary for safety.
