Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser to gently lift stains. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoe is slightly tight, wearing thin socks and walking indoors for a short period may help to break them in. Consider professional shoe stretching services if persistent.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning is designed for longevity, but consistent heavy use can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure you are not using the shoes for activities beyond their intended lifestyle purpose.
