Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions.
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For initial wear, break them in gradually. If they remain uncomfortable, consider trying a different size.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.
Ensure laces are threaded correctly. Try a different lacing technique, such as a double knot, or replace laces if they are worn.
