Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction between components. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the noise persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue area where friction might be occurring.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check if the laces are tied too tightly or too loosely. If rubbing occurs at a specific point, consider using cushioning inserts or athletic tape.

Color transfer from suede

Dry suede can sometimes transfer color, especially when wet. Protect the shoes from excessive moisture. If color transfer occurs onto socks, wash the socks separately. Consider using a suede protector spray, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
