Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede eraser to gently remove marks. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning product and a soft brush. Ensure the suede is dry before cleaning.
Mesh material is snagged
Gently try to smooth out the snag with your finger. Avoid pulling at the snagged thread. If the damage is significant, professional repair might be considered.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Clean dirty laces by hand washing them with mild soap and water and air drying.
Shoe feels uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider using different socks or inserting insoles for added cushioning or support. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.
