Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a cloth, following the cleaner's instructions, and allow to air dry.

Laces are worn or dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.

Discomfort or poor fit

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust the tightness of the laces using the TPU eyelets. If discomfort persists, consider using alternative insoles for added cushioning.
