Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
The shoe may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Suede appearance looks dull
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before brushing.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
