Troubleshooting
Laces feel difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly and not twisted within the eyelets. Gently pull or loosen each section of the lace as needed.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, consult a suede cleaning guide for appropriate spot treatment.
Slightly tight fit upon first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing guide.
Gum outsole shows scuff marks
Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. For deeper marks, specialized shoe cleaners for rubber soles may be effective.
