Troubleshooting

Hook-and-loop closure not sticking

Clean both the hook and loop sides of the fastener with a stiff brush or a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, lint, or debris. Ensure the strap is fully dry before re-fastening.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser or a soft, dry brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
