Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and wear the shoes for a short period. Leather and suede will naturally stretch slightly with wear.
Suede is dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Gum sole is losing grip
Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If significant wear is observed, it may be time to consider replacement for optimal performance.
Leather scuffs easily
Regularly clean and condition the leather to maintain its appearance. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.
