Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Try wearing thinner socks or breaking the shoes in gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure you have the correct UK size.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized synthetic suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Gum sole is sticky or dirty.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Color transfer onto socks or skin.
This can sometimes occur with dyed materials, especially when new or wet. Ensure the shoes are dry. If persistent, consider a protective spray or allow more break-in time.
