Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently clean. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry away from heat.

Laces are worn or damaged

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Standard shoelaces can be used.

Outsole grip feels reduced

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.
