Troubleshooting
Suede material looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the metallic buckle to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the shoe is the correct size for your foot.
Leather insole is uncomfortable during initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The natural leather insole is designed to conform to your foot shape over time.
Water damage to suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
