Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Ensure materials are completely dry before brushing.

Mesh material seems delicate

Avoid excessive abrasion or contact with sharp objects. Clean mesh gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes in a dark, cool place. Consider using a protective spray with UV inhibitors.
