Troubleshooting

Loosen the laces and adjust them to a comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the break-in period is needed.

Discoloration on suede material

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and dirt. Gently clean with a suede brush or a specialized suede cleaner. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
