Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to air dry completely. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight.
Wear the shoes with thin socks initially to allow them to break in. If they remain too tight, consider a shoe stretcher or consult with a professional shoe repair service. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size larger if break-in doesn't provide sufficient comfort.
Outsole losing grip.
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction. If the outsole shows significant wear, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.
