Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. If still tight, consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing thicker socks to help break them in.
Suede material is stained.
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather detailing is scuffed.
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a very mild polish matching the color may help to mask them. Deeper scuffs might be permanent.
Laces are dirty.
Remove the laces and wash them by hand with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the sneakers.
