Use a soft brush to gently remove dust and debris. For stains, spot clean carefully with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding excessive saturation.

What does 'Protection Pack' refer to?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct for your foot width, as some models run narrower. Wearing thinner socks may also help.

Suede material looks scuffed

Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap and remove light scuffs. For deeper marks, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary.

Soles feel stiff initially

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The cushioning technologies will become more pliable with use.
