Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a suede eraser or cleaner specifically designed for suede, following the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Mesh material looks faded
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using different sock thicknesses. For minor tightness, breaking them in with light wear may help. If significantly ill-fitting, consider exchanging for a different size.
