Troubleshooting
Suede looking worn or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner sparingly and blot gently. Allow to dry naturally.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace frayed laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. Consider upgrading to waxed laces for increased durability.
Soles losing grip
Clean the rubber outsole with soap and water to remove accumulated dirt. If significant wear is visible, replacement may be necessary, though this is uncommon with moderate use.
