Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Suede material getting dirty.
Use a suede eraser for scuffs and a soft brush for general dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning guide or product.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Some wear and tear on the outsole pattern over time can affect grip; consider replacement if significantly worn.
Color transfer from dark materials.
This can occasionally happen with dark dyes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or apparel, especially when new or wet.
