Troubleshooting
Laces fraying quickly
Replace with durable waxed laces designed for skate shoes. Ensure laces are not excessively tight, which can cause undue stress.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future stains.
Gum sole losing grip over time
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the grip significantly diminishes, it may indicate wear and the need for replacement.
Discomfort during initial wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Adjust lacing to alleviate pressure points.
