Troubleshooting
Pony hair appears matted or dirty.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the pony hair in the direction of the grain. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede/pony hair cleaner following product instructions.
Laces become dirty.
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.
Soles have lost traction.
Clean the rubber soles thoroughly with soap and water to remove any debris that may be affecting grip.
Color transfer from pony hair to socks.
This can occasionally happen with new or dark pony hair. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially. Washing the inside of the shoe with a damp cloth may help reduce initial shedding.
