Troubleshooting
Discomfort during wear
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Suede losing its texture or appearance
Use a dedicated suede brush regularly to maintain the nap. Address spills immediately with appropriate suede cleaning methods. Avoid wearing in wet conditions.
Sole feels stiff or offers limited flexibility
New shoes often require a break-in period. Continue wearing them for short durations to allow the sole to flex naturally with your foot.
