Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on the suede.

Shoe laces are worn or dirty.

Replace the laces with new ones. You can often find replacement laces in similar colors or choose a contrasting color for a new look.

Rubber sole has scuff marks.

Try using a magic eraser or a paste made from baking soda and water. Gently rub the marks with a cloth or soft brush, then wipe clean.

Ankle padding feels stiff initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the padding to break in and conform to your ankle shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly around the ankle.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede: Use a suede brush to clean away dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid exposing suede to excessive water.
