Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a clean suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Mesh material is snagged
Carefully trim any snagged threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on the snagged material, as this can cause further damage.
Color transfer from accents
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing, especially in wet conditions. If color transfer occurs, try wiping the affected area gently with a slightly damp cloth.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
The cushioning is designed for everyday wear. For enhanced comfort during prolonged periods of standing or walking, consider using aftermarket insoles.
