Troubleshooting

Suede looks dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Mesh material appears worn

Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the outsole using a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
