Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid getting the suede wet.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole by removing any embedded dirt or debris. Ensure the sole is dry, as moisture can affect grip.
