Troubleshooting

Suede becoming dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush. For minor dirt, a dry brush might suffice. Avoid water unless necessary and always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces showing wear

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Many sporting goods stores offer a variety of replacement laces.

Slightly tight fit

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to help stretch them slightly. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture to prevent damage to the materials.
