Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size up if consistently uncomfortable.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole is losing grip.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can affect traction. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down.
