Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For persistent stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a lightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry.
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If slightly snug, wearing them for short periods with good socks can help them break in. Consider if thin socks are being used, as thicker socks will make them feel tighter.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Tie a double knot if they frequently come undone.
