Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are tied with a double knot, or consider replacing them with grippier laces if they are very smooth.

Discomfort after first wear

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the size is correct and not too tight.

Suede material looks dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a suede-specific cleaning guide or product.

Outer sole losing grip

Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean thoroughly. If wear is significant, the shoes may be nearing the end of their lifespan for optimal traction.
