Troubleshooting
Suede looking worn or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Leather creasing
Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Reduced grip on outsole
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist.
Discomfort during initial wear
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. The leather and suede will soften and conform to your feet over time.
