Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Try double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing them with a different material or length if persistent issues occur.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip pattern is designed for urban environments; be cautious on excessively wet or uneven surfaces.
Color transfer from green accents to lighter socks.
This can occur with new shoes, especially in humid conditions or when wet. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or until colorfastness is confirmed.
