Troubleshooting

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot. Consider replacing the ribbon laces with standard ones if consistent untying is an issue.

Suede material getting dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean dry dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Overall shoe appearing bulky

Balance the silhouette by pairing with slimmer-fit pants or joggers. Ensure a proper fit to avoid unnecessary visual bulk.
