Troubleshooting
Suede discoloration or staining
Attempt to gently clean with a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be necessary. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Creasing on suede material
Minor creasing is natural with suede. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Use shoe trees if storing for extended periods.
Soles becoming detached
This is rare but could indicate a manufacturing defect or significant wear. Contact customer support or a cobbler for repair options.
Color transfer from striped pattern
Ensure the shoes are dry. If color transfer is occurring onto socks or other items, it might be due to moisture. Allow shoes to dry completely before wearing. If severe, contact customer support.
