Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure the laces are the correct length. If they are worn, consider replacing them. Lace them through the eyelets evenly for a snug fit.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
While designed for comfort, ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break-in periods may be necessary for some users. Check that socks are appropriate for trainers.
