Troubleshooting
My suede appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions, testing on a small area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
The shoes feel a bit stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The 9060s may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure you have the correct size.
The white midsole is showing dirt or marks.
Gently wipe the midsole with a damp cloth using a mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective. Rinse and wipe clean.
My feet feel hot or sweaty.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that wick moisture. The mesh upper provides breathability, but proper sock choice is also important for comfort.
