Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore texture. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or specialized cleaner.
Laces are frayed or dirty
Replace laces with new ones. Clean existing laces by hand-washing them with mild soap and water.
Reduced grip on the sole
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
Initial stiffness in the shoe
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Natural wear and movement will soften the materials over time.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt and debris from the suede upper. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, acting quickly to prevent the stain from setting.
- Laces: Keep laces clean. If they become excessively dirty, they can be hand-washed separately.
- Sole Care: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain grip. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
