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.
