Troubleshooting
Visible dirt marks on the suede surface
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede eraser to gently buff away dry surface stains.
Shoes feeling slightly tight initially
The premium materials will naturally break in and conform to your foot shape after a few sessions of wear; ensure laces are not overtightened.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing in the leather and suede sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these trainers arrive ready-to-wear, no initial setup is required beyond adjusting the laces to your desired tension. They are highly compatible with casual trousers, denim, and athletic wear due to their neutral colorway. To maintain your 990v6s, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for suede before the first wear. If they become dirty, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the materials.
