Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or seek professional cleaning.
Laces are difficult to tighten evenly
Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets and pull evenly from both sides when tightening. Re-lace if necessary.
Rubbing or discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Outsole has scuff marks
Attempt to gently clean the scuff marks with a damp cloth. For deeper marks, a rubber-specific cleaner might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
