Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a dedicated suede cleaner.
Leather scuffs or marks
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent marks, a mild leather conditioner or cleaner can be applied sparingly.
Tongue or laces feel uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing pattern to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Sole creasing
Creasing is a natural sign of wear on rubber soles. To minimize, avoid overly flexing the shoe when not in use and store with shoe trees.
