Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop closure for a secure fit. Ensure the correct size is selected; refer to sizing guides if unsure.
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely. Test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Hook-and-loop closure not sticking well
Clean both sides of the hook-and-loop fastener with a small brush to remove lint and debris. This should help restore its grip.
Shoes smell after use
Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out before wearing.
