Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on distressed areas

This is an intended design feature of the 'Protection Pack' series, mimicking a worn look. It does not affect the shoe's performance or structural integrity.

Suede material getting dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace frayed laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color.
