Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a lightly dampened cloth, then allow to air dry completely.
Laces are worn or damaged
Laces can be easily replaced. Ensure the new laces are of similar length and material for optimal fit.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the suede to naturally soften and conform to the foot's shape.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but caution is advised on very wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean for best grip.
