Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and wear with medium-thickness socks. If still uncomfortable, consider breaking them in gradually or exploring thicker socks for a snugger fit.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth and allow to air dry.
Traction feels reduced
